Mastering Physics (Macmillan Master Series)

This new edition of Mastering Physics has been completely updated and rewritten to give all the information needed to learn and master the essentials of physics. It is a self-contained, clearly explained course for individual study or classroom use which requires no prior knowledge. The book is highly illustrated throughout to show the importance of physics in the natural world, as well as in such fields as athletics, engineering, medicine and music. Questions and examples are also included throughout covering a broad range of topics such as environmental issues, motor racing and space flight. MARTIN HARRISON and FRANK McKIM are experienced writers and lecturers. They worked alongside one another for many years in the Physics Department at Marlborough College, Wiltshire.
