Description
This text approaches the subject of physics from a conceptual point of view. It is suitable for non-science students taking an introductory course in physics, due to its easy writing style, well-developed pedagogy and minimal maths content. There are in-text questions to stimulate thinking, as well as conceptual questions, exercises and problems. In this fourth edition the text, problems, illustrations and research have all been updated to provide the most recent information available.
