Description
While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories--theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. COLLEGE PHYSICS, 8e, provides a clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout the text and connecting it to real-world examples. For students planning to take the MCAT exam, the text includes exclusive test prep and review tools to help you prepare.

Summary: "Fast Shipping, no problems!"
I had the book long before the estimated 4-6 weeks shipping. It was in great condition, only with a few scibbles in it-- which believe me, is great condition for a 'used' book. I'd definitely use again :)

Summary: "worst book I've ever used in teaching a course"
I used this text for one semester because I had just been hired, and there was no time to switch to a different one before the beginning of the semester. This is by far the worst introductory physics textbook I've ever used in teaching a course. If a student read this book from cover to cover, and understood everything at the depth at which it was presented, that student would still know almost nothing worthwhile about physics. That's because the book is simply a dolled-up compendium of equations, without any intellectual underpinnings at all. The whole thing is geared to letting students solve trivial plug-in problems, without understanding what they are actually doing or why. The absurd price tag just adds insult to injury.
