I had physics in my first year of engineering studies and this was the recommended textbook. Even then, the explanations and examples in the book were often more illustrative and simple than our professor's version, and up to now I have always taken this book with me just in case a physical problem rears its nasty head somewhere. The examples, exercises and annexes replete with data help with comprehension and serve as a reference aid; the quotes introducing each chapter are priceless. All in all a very useful book for students.
This book has it all!

The book itself is amazing. It shows the true power of physics. It is a must for the true physicist to have in his book collection. And you can't beat the price!
