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

["Sam Sampere" <sampere@physics.syr.edu>]

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.

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:
