Basic Physics : A Self-Teaching Guide

Summary: A Good Start
Review: This book is a great place to start for anyone wanting to learn the basics of Newtonian physics. I decided to read this book in preparation for my high school's Physics AP class that I'll be taking next year. Comparing this book to an outline of the course, I found that the book covers more topics than the class, but in less detail. Like I said, it's great for the basics, but that's about it. The approach is rather non-mathematical, but very clear and easy to understand. Kuhn has done a great job of making basic physics understandable. This book, in conjunction with a study text, such as Schaum's Beginning Physics I or a textbook, would be an ideal way to learn physics on your own.

Summary: Great prep for the Praxis Exam for Physics
Review: Used this to prepare for the Praxis exams. Took Physics in college 13 years previous. This baby covered me. Had enough questions and covered a broad enough range to get me ready.

Had tride Cliffs Notes for Physics and that lacked the substance, examples and breadth to prepare me for the test.
