Designed to teach fundamental ideas as opposed to physics by formula. The primary goal is to expose basic properties of the atom, focusing on the description of experiments and data, both historical and current, used to establish physics principles. Contains 250 carefully worked single concept problems which demonstrate the thinking behind the answer and yield numerically significant results. Prerequisites include some exposure to classical mechanics and electromagnetism.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best modern physics books on market!,
By KS (Douglasville, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Physics from a to Z (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic for educationally scoping out modernphysics! Along with the intro. physics (Halliday,Resnick,Walker) book it is my other favorite physics book. All the topics in modern physics are covered by it and covered well. The graphics, problems, and examples are excellent and appropriate to the degree of difficultly. A good introductory book! A wonderful reference book that I'm still using!. If your looking for a way to learn and educate about modern topics and physics then get this book!

This review is from: Modern Physics from a to Z (Hardcover)
This is really a good book. You can learn the fundamentals of modern physics comfortably. The discussions are well-presented and well-organized. The worked-out problems within chapters are especially useful, so allot ample time to study them. When I was using this book, there were a few typos, but I am sure the author must have corrected them. Some of the end-of-chapter problems may sound weird, they need some revision. Also, try not to use a calculator while solving the in-chapter problems, you can really improve your math skills.

This review is from: Modern Physics from a to Z (Hardcover)
Since modern physics is hardly modern anymore, most of the important topics were developed 100 years ago, so it doesn't matter that the book is 11 years old. the best part is the lack of bright colors, useless notes on the side of the page, confusing layouts- all of which add unnecessary cost to already expensive textbooks. Furthermore, if you compare to other books, the problems are generally better, with similar treatment of main concepts.
The book does suffer from the common problem of the first two chapters being mostly an historical review of concepts from 100 level physics.
