Physics: A World View (with InfoTrac)
"I am an advocate of inquiry-based teaching and learning and so I applaud the extensive use of conceptual questions sprinkled throughout the text." "...the conceptual questions are excellent because they address everyday phenomena that a curious student will want to understand.""I like the Flawed Reasoning questions and answers and would like to see even more of these, if possible.""One of the reasons why we switched from the Hewitt text to Kirkpatrick and Wheeler several years ago was based on the inclusion of substantially more numerical exercises in the KW text.""The greatest strength of Hewitt's book is supposed to be its clarity, with careful explanations of basic principles. However, with our students, Kirkpatrick and Wheeler did a lot better job.""The students find the text readable. Questions and exercises are at the right level and present the answers in a complete way. The Questions and their corresponding answers is one of the greatest strengths of the text, they teach some great physics."
