Physics Matters : An Introduction to Conceptual Physics
- New York John Wiley & Sons 2004
- xxvii, 691p. Includes index and Glossary
Physics Matters follows the traditional historical approach to the presentation of physics, beginning with mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, and progressing from them to the physics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This division reflects both the history of the science and a difference in focus and subject matter. Although we do not make an explicit distinction, the division be-tween classical and modern physics is pretty clear in the text.
