The benchmark for clarity and rigor, influenced by the latest in education research.

Since its first edition, University Physics has been revered for its emphasis on fundamental principles and how to apply them. This text is known for its clear and thorough narrative, as well as its uniquely broad, deep, and thoughtful sets of worked examples that provide students with key tools for developing both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.

The Fourteenth Edition improves the defining features of the text while adding new features influenced by education research to teach the skills needed by today’s students. A focus on visual learning, new problem types, and pedagogy informed by MasteringPhysics metadata headline the improvements designed to create the best learning resource for physics students.

MasteringPhysics® not included. Students, if MasteringPhysics is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. My##Lab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

MasteringPhysics is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to personalize learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts.

For courses in calculus-based physics. Guided practice helps students develop into expert problem solvers The new 15th Edition of University Physics with Modern Physics, now in SI Units, draws on insights from several users to help students see patterns and make connections between problem types. Students learn to recognise when to use similar steps in solving the same problem type and develop an understanding for problem solving approaches, rather than simply plugging values into an equation. This edition addresses students' tendency to focus on the objects and situations posed in a problem, rather than recognising the underlying principle or the problem type. New Key Concept statements identify the main idea used in examples to help students recognise the underlying concepts and strategy. New Key Example Variation Problems within new Guided Practice sections group problems by type so students recognise when problems can be solved in similar ways, regardless of wording or numbers.

University Physics with Modern Physics, Technology Update, Thirteenth Edition continues to set the benchmark for clarity and rigor combined with effective teaching and research-based innovation. The Thirteenth Edition Technology Update contains QR codes throughout the textbook, enabling students to use their smartphone or tablet to instantly watch interactive videos about relevant demonstrations or problem-solving strategies. University Physics is known for its uniquely broad, deep, and thoughtful set of worked examples-key tools for developing both physical understanding and problem-solving skills. The Thirteenth Edition revises all the Examples and Problem-solving Strategies to be more concise and direct while maintaining the Twelfth Edition's consistent, structured approach and strong focus on modeling as well as math. To help students tackle challenging as well as routine problems, the Thirteenth Edition adds Bridging Problems to each chapter, which pose a difficult, multiconcept problem and provide a skeleton solution guide in the form of questions and hints. The text's rich problem sets-developed and refined over six decades-are upgraded to include larger numbers of problems that are biomedically oriented or require calculus. The problem-set revision is driven by detailed student-performance data gathered nationally through MasteringPhysics (R), making it possible to fine-tune the reliability, effectiveness, and difficulty of individual problems. Complementing the clear and accessible text, the figures use a simple graphic style that focuses on the physics. They also incorporate explanatory annotations-a technique demonstrated to enhance learning. This package consists of: University Physics with Modern Physics Technology Update, Volume 1 (Chapters 1-20), Thirteenth Edition

The Immunoassay Kit Directory, Series B: Infectious Diseases deals with commercially available immunoassay kits for the diagnosis of clinically important infectious diseases. Detailed information about each kit is provided; over 19 different major parameters are listed in a consistent manner to allow for easy comparison. Each organism is introduced by a short article and there are also review articles of relevance to the current issue. Comprehensive indexes are provided. This part of the Directory covers kits for the diagnosis of genitourinary infections such as chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, C and D, herpes simplex, HIV, HTLV, neisseria, streptococcus and treponema. In total almost 600 kits are described in detail. Further parts of the Directory deal with respiratory infections (Part 2) and enteric and other infections (Part 3).

For courses in calculus-based physics. Practice makes perfect. The 15th Edition of University Physics with Modern Physics draws on a wealth of data insights from hundreds of faculty and thousands of student users to address one of the biggest challenges for students in introductory physics courses: seeing patterns and making connections between problem types. Students learn to recognise when to use similar steps in solving the same problem type and develop an understanding for problem solving approaches, rather than simply plugging in an equation. This edition addresses students' tendency to focus on the objects, situations, numbers, and questions posed in a problem, rather than recognising the underlying principle or the problem's type. New Key Concept statements at the end of worked examples address this challenge by identifying the main idea used in the solution to help students recognise the underlying concepts and strategy for the given problem. New Key Example Variation Problems appear within new Guided Practice sections and group problems by type to give students practice recognising when problems can be solved in a similar way, regardless of wording or numbers. These scaffolded problem sets help students see patterns, make connections between problems, and build confidence for tackling different problem types when exam time comes.

The Student's Study Guide summarizes the essential information in each chapter and provides additional problems for the student to solve, reinforcing the text's emphasis on problem-solving strategies and student misconceptions.

With the first publication in English of Trozas, B. Traven's legendary Jungle Novels, an epic of the birth of the Mexican Revolution, are complete. Trozas is the fourth of the six Jungle Novels that describe the conditions of peonage and debt slavery under which Mexican Indians suffered during the reign of Porfirio Diaz. The main character of the novel is a young Indian named Andres Ugaldo, a virtual slave worker in a monteria--mahogany plantation-which is purchased by the profit ?hungry Montellano brothers, widely despised for their brutal treatment of workers. The demands on Andres and his companions exceed even the usual insufferable conditions in the monteria. Trozas (the word means "logs") captures the origins of the rebellious spirit that slowly spread through the labor camps and haciendas, culminating in the bloody revolt that ended Diaz's rule. Traven masterfully evokes the backbreaking daily routine of the monteria, brings alive the players in this sordid drama, and tells the story in riveting narrative.
