Customer Review: This book covers an important topic, and gains credibility by the participation of the former Controller General of the United States. However, the material is mostly boring stream of thought from the first author, and some of the important charts are VERY difficult to read and interpret
Customer Review: I've used both Halliday and Giancoli, though the latter I used as a Freshman back in 2002 for first semester physics and the former I used as a post-bac student in 2006/07 when I completed the second semester. I do have to strongly disagree with previous reviewers that the problems are of a... more info
Customer Review: This is a good book, especially if you're mechanics course used parts 1 and 2 of this same series. The thing that I like about this book is that it doesn't depend on a complete knowledge of surface or line integrals, just a basic understanding of them and how to apply simple geometric cases for math... more info
Customer Review: This is a fascinating and very timely book. Easy to read and understand with many examples from real life.
Makes one understand why the serious problems in our world's environment will not go away unless we fix them. And some very practical ways to do that.

Look up any subject, from Iranaeus to Arianism, and you will find several pages that sum up the topic beautifully. One caution is to remember the book was... more info
Customer Review: ...but it's not a bad one. You should know, however, that many physics classes also require access to online homework and materials through WileyPlus; purchasing that access is $65 per book. Just another way for the textbook companies to screw the students. It's not really as if you're going to... more info
Customer Review: This remains one of the most WORTHLESS technical texts I've ever run into - going back to at least the Second Edition of 1981. As a stand-alone, the text provides a survey of basic concepts in mechanics, wave theory, thermodynamics and electrodynamics. The example problems are pathetic and reflect a... more info
Customer Review: As a thrifty college student, I'm inclined to finding my books for the lowest price online and while I don't expect them to be new or anywhere close to perfect, a decent enough condition is expected especially when the book's status is "good". However, I found it a little disappointing when I opened... more info
