College Physics (with PhysicsNow)

Summary: Unhelpful and poorly edited College Physics
Review: Where do I begin?
The chapter discussions are not clear nor are they laid out in a logical sequence.
The problems at the end of each chapter are complex with no hints or solutions guide to help you along. Some of the fomulas that are required appear to be plucked from thin air, because they are not to be found in the text.
The book has an attractive cover which blies the obscure and confusing contents.
I am a straight A student in the sciences. I consider myself competent when it comes to deciphering other peoples explinations and examples. Having said that, I would never, under any circumstances, recommend this book to a beginning Physics student.
