[edit] Conceptual Physics

9th edition bundled with 0321051602

The number 1 text in the Liberal Arts physics market. The book has been a bestseller for over 30 years with the conceptual approach that was introduced by Paul Hewitt. The text engages students with analogies and imagery from real-world situations to build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics. With this strong foundation, students are better equipped to understand the equations and formulas of physics, and motivated to explore the thought-provoking exercises and fun projects in each chapter.* NEW! Part I delays kinematics for one chapter. Students learn about the concept of force before the concepts of velocity and acceleration, which gives them an easier-to-grasp introduction to mechanics and vector mathematics. * NEW! Each of Newtons laws is now given its own chapter. * NEW! Topical boxes connect chapter content to contemporary topics, such as electromagnetic fields around power lines and magnetic strips on credit cards, and seek to debunk pseudo-scientific fads and phobias, such as magnetic therapy and food irradiation. * NEW! The AW Tutor Center, www.aw.com/tutorcenter, offers free tutoring with qualified instructors by phone, fax, e-mail, and the Internet. * NEW! Icons in text point to www.physicsplace.com to engage, test, and help students in an interactive exploration of fundamental physics concepts. * UPDATED! Problem sets in each chapter have been revised. * Conversational writing style and upbeat tone engages students. * In-text questions with answers reinforce the concepts as they are presented. * Fun and easy to perform tasks and projects involve students in exploration and observation. * Extensive full-color line art and photo program includes amusing and informative cartoons by the author that reinforce and extend key concepts. * Exercises and questions have been refined through use by over 2 million students. * A clear and approachable glossary and fold-out periodic table are handy references.
