John,

Would you be kind enough to send me some more info on the U Mass book?  
I'm considering a change of text for our introductory (college prep, 
but not honors) high school physics course, and am leaning toward 
Hewitt's Conceptual Physics. Would the U Mass book be appropriate for 
this group?
