This book is an excellent high school text or elective alternative. It teaches basic physics concepts without the sometimes heavy handiness that frightens away so many would-be physics students. In preparing this material, as well as in our own course, we have focused on a verbal rather than a mathematical discussion of the various concepts and their development and implications.
Close attention is paid to simple definitions.
There are even a few equations and formulas. Analogies are freely used as aids to understanding. Review questions and references for further reading are supplied at the end of each chapter. In short, this book is intended to help students appreciate physics in the same way that students appreciate music or art.
