Good Supplement To Text.......2005-10-21

This book makes the course so much easier. I strongly recomend it to anyone taking the course. The solutions are very acurate. Only about 20 percent of of problems have soultions, enough to help the self-motivated students, not enought to use to cheat. I've worked through almost the entire text and have never found any errors. The study guide provides a usefull math backround, several fully worked exemples and good, concise, explanations.

This is not a solutions manual........2006-11-10

This student solutions manual and study guide is practically worthless. It doesn't have solutions to even problems and only a handful of problems at all it also shows examples that you can find in the book already. A solutions manual should at least have answers to problems so when you work the problem you know whether you have done it correctly. This is a total waste of money.

Solution Manual.......2006-08-07

This solution manual works out all the problems at the end of the chapter that have a box around them. Also, has a useful review of each chapter, and includes important equations and concepts. Highly recommended study tool.

Poor.......2005-11-25

I found that this solutions manual wasn't worth the paper it was written on. I wish that they would print out a master solution manual that students can get for the other 90% of the problems. I have used it maybe twice during the duration of the course.

Learning with this manual causes negetive velocity (backwards).......2005-10-05

This is the most poorly written text I have ever used. I bought the student solutions manual also which I thought might help me understand the concepts, but to no avail, the solutions manual jumps from Problem #5 to #21 in one chapter?? Forget about the examples on the text they are totally confusing and don't show you how they arrived with the solution. I am no dummy. This book will make you have low self esteem, thats the way I felt. I have a physics tutor who also said this book makes physics even harder to understand. I trully feel sorry for the student that has to buy this book because the school requires it. I had to buy a bootleg CD with the teacher's solutions on it to fully understand this text! We shouldn't have to do that.

Book Description

The main objectives of this introductory physics book are twofold: to provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics, and to strengthen an understanding of the concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting applications to the real world. In order to meet these objectives, emphasis is placed on sound physical arguments and discussions of everyday experiences and observations. At the same time, we motivate the student through practical examples that demonstrate the role of physics in other disciplines. The sixth edition features new pedagogy in keeping with the findings in physics education research. The rich new pedagogy has been integrated within the framework of an established and reliable text, facilitating its use by instructors.The full COLLEGE PHYSICS text, which covers the standard topics in classical physics and 20th century physics, is divided into six parts. COLLEGE PHYSICS, VOLUME 2 covers three of those six parts, including electricity and magnetism (Part IV); properties of light and the field of geometric and wave optics (Part V); and an introduction to special relativity, quantum physics, and atomic and nuclear physics (Part VI).

It wasn't terrible........2006-04-30

I used 7th ed vol. 2 for an online physics course and it wasn't a terrible book. Most of the stuff in here is not at all intuitive, so the nature of the subject matter itself is difficult. You need to work problems to get this stuff in your head, and you have to be self-motivated to study if you're doing an online course. One criticism I have is that the "PhysicsNow" is worthless. They provide no explanation on the website.

If you are reading this review and you need the book, I'll send you the one I have if I still have it. E-mail me at scott340pd@email.com if you're interested. Give me time to check my email account, because this is one I don't use often.

Professors please spare your students.......2006-03-22

I don't think this book explains concepts very well and it's even worse at teaching how to build on them. Some of the questions at the end of the chapter are very complex but, for people whose last supporting math class was years ago, the chapter often lacks thoroughly worked up examples to help figure out how to build the equation.

In the questions at the end of each chapter there are several problems that have on line coaching at the PHYSICS NOW web site, indicated by the PHYSICS NOW icon. Very often the problems that are indicated in the book are not the ones coached on line.

Volume 2 is published as a separate book but it is really the second half of volume 1. Many of the concepts in volume 2 are dependent on concepts, equations and other data presented in volume 1, but the book lacks an index containing this important information for those who took the first semester long enough ago to have sold the book. DO NOT BUY VOLUME 2 UNLESS YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A FIRST SEMESTER BOOK.

This book is worthless.......2005-12-16

I used this book for my physics class and I totally hate it. We will be using it again for next semester and I wish they would use a different one. If you are a teacher, please save your studernts from the headache! pick a better book!

Waste of Money.......2005-10-09

Do not waste your money on this textbook! Even the most basic concepts are poorly explained. Examples are random and rarely help to reinforce the lesson. You can find a much better physics book for a fraction of the price. I can't believe they published this book!!

less than one star... but since there's no zero.......2004-03-12

This is one of the poorest books I've ever used for learning any subject. This is simply NOT GOING TO WORK if you learn by reading/studying, rather than in class.

I already have a college degree, and I've read thousands of books, and studied from many. Rarely have I found a book this thick that has so little
1) EXPLANATION OF CORE CONCEPTS,
or
2) THOROUGHLY WORKED EXAMPLES OF PROBLEMS.

There is a lot of verbiage but that is all.

DO NOT WASTE TIME WITH THIS BOOK. Without a GOOD teacher, this book is beyond totally useless. With a teacher one can use this book for homework problems, but nothing more.

Book Description

For Chapters 15-30, this manual contains detailed solutions to approximately 12 problems per chapter. These problems are indicated in the textbook with boxed problem numbers. The manual also features a skills section, important notes from key sections of the text, and a list of important equations and concepts.

If you want a competitive advantage in this class, buy the ANNOTATED INSTRUCTORS EDITION. It is available used from the Amazon marketplace for only $99.

Instructors often use the suggested problems in the instructor's edition for their quizzes and tests.

sloppy book.......2006-04-01

I bought this at Amazon.com from an Awesome Deal I found on DailyTool.com. This book is sloppy because my professor always tells us that don't trust the formulars from the book. However, the book does cover something interesting and related to our everyday life.

Not Much to Say..........2005-09-27

As this was required text for my class, there's no need to pick it apart. Should have opted for the Teacher's edition. But who cares....I just saved a bunch of money on my school books by switching to Amazon.com, YEAH BABY.

Best Algebra Based Physics Text.......2002-12-30

Physics is a difficult subject. This text does an admirable job of making a difficult subject easier.

There are advantages and disadvantages to disallowing the writer to use calculus in writing the material. Some formulas require calculus to derive and so must be either taken on faith as true, or the derivations looked up in a calculus based test. Fortunately the times when this issue comes up are few enough to not seriously hamper the flow of the book.

This book may be read as a first book on Physics. I strongly recommend the book Conceptual Physics by Hewitt for a running start at the subject.

Members of the lay public interested in physics may read both of these texts, as they are at introductory level and contains material on classical as well as modern physics.

The units are in SI ( metric ) which simplifies the math.

The Wilson and Buffa text has Color photos of natural phenomenon and situations that illustrate the physics under discussion. There examples are intermixed throughout showing how to work problems involving the principles involved.

I believe this book is an important part of a well rounded education. Physics is NOT an easy topic. If it were, then Newton would have developed theories on relativity and gravity waves. This book does what it was designed to do, that is assist beginners in starting their journey.

I read the book. I found it to be fun.

Not Bad, Not Great.......2002-09-27

While I haven't had the pleasure of having Buffa for a professor (and by all accounts I'm planning on avoiding it), the book really isn't that bad. The sample problems are helpful and the escalating difficulty is appreaciated.

The downside is that he tends to get bogged down in little details that aren't really as important as he makes them out to be--especially considering that the book is for people who don't need calc-based Physics (read life science majors, and all non-science related majors who need a GE), and occasionally the problems seem totally unrelated to what has been presented in the text.

For Chapters 1-14, this manual contains detailed solutions to approximately 12 problems per chapter. These problems are indicated in the textbook with boxed problem numbers.

Good Bookend.......2000-02-12

In my college physics course, I frequently found myself throwing this textbook against the wall and referring to my "Cartoon Guide to Physics" (Gonick..highly recommended). This entire book should be reduced to the summaries at the end of the chapter, for all else is useless jumble. I spend 4 hours trying to figure out the difference between a parallel and a series circuit, concluding that the best option would be a physics bonfire. Would this book conduct electric charge, where would the field lines point? I don't know, because I read this book.

Book Description

In The Color of Sex Mason Stokes offers new ways of thinking about whiteness by exploring its surprisingly ambivalent partnership with heterosexuality. Stokes examines a wide range of white-supremacist American texts written and produced between 1852 and 1915—literary romances, dime novels, religious and scientific tracts, film—and exposes whiteness as a tangled network of racial and sexual desire. Stokes locates these white-supremacist texts amid the anti-racist efforts of African American writers and activists, deepening our understanding of both American and African American literary and cultural history.
The Color of Sex reveals what happens when race and sexuality meet, when white desire encounters its own ambivalence. As Stokes argues, whiteness and heterosexuality exist in anxious relation to one another. Mutually invested in “the normal,” they support each other in their desperate insistence on the cultural logic of exclusion. At the same time, however, they threaten one another in their attempt to create and sustain a white future, since reproducing whiteness necessarily involves the risk of contamination
Charting the curious movements of this “white heterosexuality,” The Color of Sex inaugurates a new moment in our ongoing attempt to understand the frenzied interplay of race and sexuality in America. As such, it will appeal to scholars interested in race theory, sexuality studies, and American history, culture, and literature.
