Summary: Use it, or lose it!
Review: This is one of the books that I pull out once or twice a year to review the principles of physical science. If you are like me, it is irritating to contemplate losing all of that hard-won knowledge from high school and college science courses. I especially like this volume, since it includes earth science and astronomy along with the basic chemistry and physics.Here are the contents by chapter: 1) Physical Quantities, 2) Motion in a Straight Line, 3) The Laws of Motion, 4) Circular Motion and Gravitation, 5) Energy, 6) Momentum, 7) Relativity, 8) Fluids, 9) Heat, 10) Kinetic Theory of Matter, 11) Thermodynamics, 12) Electricity, 13) Electric Current, 14) Magnetism, 15) Electromagnetic Induction, 16) Waves, 17) Quantum Physics, 18) The Nucleus, 19) Radioactivity and Elementary Particles, 20) Theory of the Atom, 21) The Periodic Law, 22) Chemical Bonding, 23) Formulas and Equations, 24) Stoichiometry, 25) Gas Stoichiometry, 26) Solutions, 27) Acids and Bases, 28) Oxidation and Reduction, 29) Electrochemistry, 30) Chemical Energy, 31) Reaction Rates and Equilibrium, 32) Organic Chemistry, 33) The Atmosphere, 34) Weather, 35) The Oceans, 36) Earth Materials, 37) Erosion and Sedimentation, 38) Vulcanism and Diastrophism, 39) The Earth's Interior, 40) Continental Drift, 41) Earth History, 42) Earth and Sky, 43) The Solar System, 44) The Sun, 45) The Stars, 46)The Universe. Appendixes are included on Physical Constants and Quantities, Conversion Factors, and the Periodic Table. There are plenty of worked examples, as well as, supplemental problems and answers. You do not need calculus.
