Re: [Phys-l] Paul Z's Physics book



Gee, based on those reviews, it sounds to me like he got it right! These
HS students who wrote the reviews seem to want to be spoon-fed. Oh, like
many of the students here! Or at your institution!

I haven't seen the book, but I wouldn't pass judgment based on those
comments.

On 07/11/2007 06:38 PM, Thomas McCarthy asked:
Can someone comment on the 2005 edition of Zitzewitz's Physics:
Principles and Problems book from Glencoe? In particular, has it
greatly improved over the previous versions?

I have no first-hand knowledge of the 2005 edition .....
but I observe that the customer reviews on amazon.com are
as bad as you would expect based on previous editions:
