College Physics

An algebra-based physics text designed for the first year, non-calculus college course. Although it covers the traditional topics in the traditional order, this book is very different from its competitors. This textbook is a ground-breaking iconoclast in this market, answering a clear demand from physics instructors for a clearer, shorter, more readable textbook.
College Physics: Putting it all together includes:

A clear and streamlined narrative - when the authors break away to introduce a worked example, it is introduced in the text and is directly related to the subject preceding it.Telling the students what they need to know to solve the homework and test problems without a lot of unnecessary puffery.Keeping students engaged with a friendly and even occasionally humorous writing style, and droll illustrations.Handling common student misconceptions in difficult topics by weaving them  into the narrative.Retaining key textbook elements that are truly useful, such as worked examples, summaries and plenty of chapter-ending problems.
