Re: Physics Textbook



Can you put a chapter, or part of one, on the web so one can get a flavor
of what you did?

Adam was by constitution and proclivity a scientist; I was the same, and
we loved to call ourselves by that great name...Our first memorable
scientific discovery was the law that water and like fluids run downhill,
not up.

I just joined PHYS-L yesterday, and discovered in the archives
(8-10 Dec 99) an exchange titled "Physics Textbook." Alice Marie Pool
asked for suggestions for a high-school physics text, and several
suggestions were then forthcoming. I hope it's OK with everybody if I
suggest my own textbook, Physics: Concepts and Connections. It's a
conceptual physics textbook, listed for introductory college courses. I
would be delighted to see it tried in high schools, and think it could be
appropriate at that level. You can find info about the book on my webpage,
listed below.
