For courses in College Physics. College Physics, Volume 2, 11th
Edition contains Chapters 17-30. Help students see the connections
between problem types and understand how to solve them For more
than five decades, Sears and Zemansky's College Physics has
provided the most reliable foundation of physics education for
students around the world. With the 11th Edition, author Phil Adams
incorporates data from thousands of surveyed students detailing
their use and reliance on worked examples, video tutorials, and
need for just-in-time remediation when working homework problems
and preparing for exams. Driven by how students actually use the
text and media today to prepare for their exams, the new edition
adds worked examples and new Example Variation Problems in each
chapter to help students see patterns and make connections between
problem types. They learn to recognize 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. The expanded problem types and scaffolded in-problem
support help students develop greater confidence in solving
problems, deepen conceptual understanding, and strengthen
quantitative-reasoning skills for better exam performance. All new
problems sets are available in Mastering Physics with wrong answer
specific feedback along with a wealth of new wrong answer feedback,
hints, and eTexts links with 20% of end of chapter problems. Note:

Jack London (1876-1916) remains one of the most widely read
American writers, known for his naturalist fiction, socialist
novels and essays, journalism, and the many adventures that he
shared with the world. London was also an accomplished
photographer, producing nearly twelve thousand photographs during
his lifetime. "Jack London, Photographer," the first book devoted
to London's photography, reveals a vital dimension of his artistry,
barely known until now. London's subjects included such peoples as
the ragged homeless of London's East End and the freezing refugees
of the Russo-Japanese War, the latter photographed on assignment
for the Hearst Syndicate. For "Collier's" magazine, London wrote
his eyewitness account of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and
fire and returned two weeks later with his camera to document a
city in ruins but slowly recovering. During his voyage aboard the
Snark, London produced humane images of the South Seas islanders
that contrasted dramatically with the period's stereotypical
portraits of indigenous peoples. In 1914 he documented the U.S.
invasion of Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution. Although some
of his images were used in newspaper and magazine stories and in
his books "The People of the Abyss" and "The Cruise of the Snark,"
the majority have remained unpublished until now. The volume's more
than two hundred photographs were printed from the original
negatives in the California State Parks collection and from the
original photographs in albums at the Huntington Library. They are
reproduced here as duotones from silver gelatin prints. The general
and chapter introductions place London's photographs in the context
of his writings and his times. London lived during the first true
mass-media era, when the use of photographic images ushered in a
new way of covering the news. With his discerning eye, London
recorded historical moments through the faces and bodies of the
people who lived them, creating memorable portraits of individuals
whose cultural differences pale beside their common humanity.
