"The book has been pitched at exactly the right level, and will appeal to pupils and teachers alike. I am sure it will be popular, because I believe it has found a style and a level that will fill the current gap in provision of suitable textbooks that adequately cover the WJEC specification. The Physics is sound, correct and all fundamental physical principles have been applied correctly to the different contexts encountered within the book. There is a wide range of examples and of physics problems, some with worked solutions that cover the whole range of the WJEC AS specification. Unlike many other text books which support other Awarding Bodies' specifications currently on the market, the Physics is not lost or buried within the contextualisation of the advice given, or the worked examples. The book moves at a fast pace, but the content is full and focused and follows the WJEC AS specification faithfully. The worked examples will be popular with students because they are topical, have been written by current examiners and reflect the style and level of demand of current WJEC examination papers.
