Publisher's Synopsis
Using a narrative presentation, this text presents physics through real-life applications, an art and photography programme that is intended to motivate conceptual discussions, a presentation that anticipates students' questions, and an approach that emphasizes contemporary physics while interweaving historical perspectives. This revised edition incorporates new problems, a five-step problem-solving framework for all examples, sketch-art accompanying many examples, more biological applications, and do-it-yourself experiments. This alternate edition (Volume 1) is a paperback book designed for professors who want to cover only the first 14 chapters of the main text.
