Physics

本書係針對不需使用微積分的物理課程而寫，適合一般或科技大學一學年的普通物理課程使用，本書編寫深入淺出，基礎且重要的觀念均以學生易懂的方式表達，並列舉生活實例來驗證書中觀念，使學生能很快地吸收學習並能感受到物理學有趣之處，前版曾獲得McGuffey獎，這是教科書與學術作者協會(Text and Academic Authors Association)對於優良教科書所頒授的榮譽。
新版對部分內容架構做了重新的編排：(1)將更多牛頓第二運動定律置於自由落體圖解之後，(2)更深入的電磁波介紹，(3)刪除電化學單元等，此外，更著重加強許多觀念例題的解題步驟，並於每章末增列摘要、關鍵詞、複習問題、進階習題和思考性問題以引導學生學習並建立解題技巧。
