4.0 out of 5 stars competing in a crowded market, February 14, 2005

(VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: College Physics (Hardcover)

Well, the artwork in the book is certainly gorgeous. A pleasure to read. But I am uncertain how distinctive the text really is, in providing any unique and advantageous insight to a university undergraduate struggling with a physics course.

Which is not to say that the material is wrong or poorly written. Clearly, the authors have distilled a lot of effort into composing the text, and assembling a diverse set of problems and examples. Where these are often chosen to pique the reader's interest, by invoking real life situations that might be germane to her.

The biggest problem this book faces is that there are several other long standing physics texts, now deep into their n-th editions. Mindshare is a difficult thing to acquire under these circumstances.
