The goal of Essential College Physics is to provide a text focused
on essential principles-a shorter, more focused text that better
addresses the learning needs of today's students while more
effectively guiding them through the mastery of physics. Brevity
does not need to come at the expense of student learning. This text
is designed from the ground up to be concise and focused, resulting
in a book that is less intimidating and easier to use, with
well-coordinated explanations, art, worked examples, and
end-of-chapter problems. It incorporates an overarching connected
approach: connecting ideas within and across chapters; connecting
physics with the real world; connecting words and math; and
connecting with how today's students learn and how they use their
textbook. In addition to providing a strong foundation that teaches
physics principles, the text also focuses on building students'
problem-solving skills.
Learn how your life connects to the latest discoveries in physics
with MODERN PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS. This updated
fifth edition offers a contemporary, comprehensive approach with a
strong emphasis on applications to help you see how concepts in the
book relate to the real world. Discussions on the experiments that
led to key discoveries illustrate the process behind scientific
advances and give you a historical perspective. Included is a
thorough treatment of special relativity, an introduction to
general relativity, and a solid foundation in quantum theory to
help you succeed. An updated WebAssign course features a
mobile-friendly ebook and a variety of assignable questions to
enhance your learning experience. WebAssign for MODERN PHYSICS FOR
SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS helps you prepare for class with
confidence. Its online learning platform helps you unlearn common
misconceptions, practice and absorb what you learn and begin your
path as a future physicist or engineer. Tutorials walk you through
concepts when you're stuck, and instant feedback and grading let
you know where you stand--so you can focus your study time and
perform better on in-class assignments and prepare for exams. Study
smarter with WebAssign!
In the 300 years since Newton's seminal work, physics has explained
many things that used to be mysterious. Particularly in the last
century, physics has addressed a range of questions, from the
smallest fundamental particles to the large-scale structure and
history of the entire universe. But there are always more
questions. Suitable for a wide audience, Commonly Asked Questions
in Physics covers a broad scope of subjects, from classical physics
that goes back to the age of Newton to new ideas just formulated in
the twenty-first century. The book highlights the core areas of
physics that predate the twentieth century, including mechanics,
electromagnetism, optics, and thermodynamics. It also focuses on
modern physics, covering quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear
physics, fundamental particles, and relativity. Each chapter
explains the numbers and units used to measure things and some
chapters include a "Going Deeper" feature that provides more
mathematical details for readers who are up to the challenge. The
suggested readings at the end of each chapter range from classic
textbooks to some of the best books written for the general public,
offering readers the option to study the topic in more depth.
Physics affects our lives nearly every day using cell phones,
taking x-rays, and much more. Keeping the mathematics at a very
basic level, this accessible book addresses many physics questions
frequently posed by physics students, scientists in other fields,
and the wider public.

An improved, larger-format edition of the Cambridge School
Shakespeare plays, extensively rewritten, expanded and produced in
an attractive new design. An active approach to classroom
Shakespeare enables students to inhabit Shakespeare's imaginative
world in accessible and creative ways. Students are encouraged to
share Shakespeare's love of language, interest in character and
sense of theatre. Substantially revised and extended in full
colour, classroom activities are thematically organised in
distinctive 'Stagecraft', 'Write about it', 'Language in the play',
'Characters' and 'Themes' features. Extended glossaries are aligned
with the play text for easy reference. Expanded endnotes include
extensive essay-writing guidance for 'Hamlet' and Shakespeare.
Includes rich, exciting colour photos of performances of 'Hamlet'
from around the world.

Essential College Physics Volume I provides students with an
approachable and innovative introduction to key concepts in
physics. Throughout the text, students enjoy clear and concise
explanations, relevant real-world examples, and problems that help
them master physics fundamentals. Following the introductory
Chapter 1, the remainder of Volume I is devoted to mechanics of
particles and systems. It includes separate chapters on
gravitation, fluids, and waves, including sound. The text concludes
with a three-chapter sequence on thermodynamics. Each chapter
features annotated figures and detailed problem-solving strategies
to help students learn and retain the material with confidence. The
second edition includes a new four-color format, with color coding
of pedagogical features to call greater attention to each.
Additionally, new applications have been added to make select
topics more current and engaging, both throughout the text and,
when possible, within problem sets. Essential College Physics
Volume I is part of a two-volume set. It can be used independently
or in tandem with Volume II. When combined, the two texts cover a
full-year course in algebra-based physics, divided either into two
semesters or three quarters.
Essential College Physics Volume II effectively introduces students
to critical concepts in physics in an approachable and innovative
way. Throughout the text, students enjoy clear and concise
explanations, relevant real-world examples, and problems that help
them master physics fundamentals. The text begins with six chapters
on electricity and magnetism, culminating with a concluding chapter
on electromagnetic waves and relativity. Following this are two
chapters on optics - one on geometrical optics and another on wave
optics. The final four chapters cover modern physics, including
quanta, atoms, nuclei, and elementary particles. Each chapter
features annotated figures and detailed problem-solving strategies
to help students learn and retain the material with confidence. The
second edition includes a new four-color format, with color coding
of pedagogical features to call greater attention to each.
