 Modern Technical Physics...A poor excuse for a physics book. April 20, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Hmm...where do I start. This book is absolutely terrible. Just as one of the other reviewers of this text, I too was required to use this book in a college physics course. The book lacks in many aspects. The first problem is that this book is only black and white...there are no color illustrations--the use of color illustrations and pictures would be very helpful in illustrating and describing certain concepts. Also, the book is very lacking in example problems. The example problems shown in the book are nothing like the practice problems at the end of chapters. There are many cases in which a section of a chapter gives no example problems, yet at the end of the chapter there are practice problems for that particular section. Apparently Arthur Beiser doesn't realize that example problems are helpful and sometimes necessary to complete the end-of-chapter problems. All these factors, combined with the relatively high price, make this book an extremely bad choice for reference, or in my case, as a use as a collge physics text. If I could have given this book 0 stars I would have done so.
Terrible Physics book...DO NOT BUY! February 15, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was required to use this book for Physics class in college and was extremely dissapointed with it. The problems explained in each chapter do not at all reflect the difficult problems in the end-of-chapter exercises. Also, this book is very weak in explaining vecor addition, which is a very important principle in Physics that is frequently required to do the end of chapter problems. All this, combined with weak illustrations, makes this a TERRIBLE book for anyone interested in learning physics. This book leads me to believe that Beiser is a terrible author. This book is not worth even the paper it's printed on...DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
 Well-explained physics book February 1, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book by Arthur Beiser in my opinion is one of the best technical physics written, the explanation was clear and simple, the solved example from real life application give the reader better physics understanding especially the atomic and nuclear physics section. Although the book cover only the basics without any attempt to get in depth of the subject, I still give him 5 star because the basic was explained very well with clarity and simplicity I haven't found in any other physics text book. This book will be a good reference with any advanced physics book.
