Rating:
Summary: BEST BOOK EVER (science wise)
Review: ... This boook covers the basics and dosen't go into much detal which i like, plain and simple. ... I recamend this for students having a hard time in science.

Rating:
Summary: cartoons and etc....
Review: This book is a bunch of cartoons with no answers to the questions. To understand the book you have to have a sense of imagination. The author gets too personal with his pictures instead of teaching about phyical science.

Summary: Excellent companion to Conceptual Physical Science!
Review: This Explorations book simply reinforces the concepts laid out so well in Conceptual Physical Science (see my review).

In case it helps you better judge the value of my review, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Physics, so I've read several types of physics books--from conceptual books (like this one) to complex ones written for engineering students.

I'd like to stress that Hewitt's books are very much geared to those totally new to physics and/or physical science or to those who find themselves long past due for a review. That's why I keep his books around--they are second-to-none for common sense, fancy-free explanations. See for yourself.
