Great book with one key folly.
The book itself is good quality, and although the pages are quite thin I do find them to be strain-resistant and well made. The pictures are printed well, and the quality of the printing itself is splendid also. Just note, as others have said, the book is not at all very resistant to bending and it is a softback book; mine did arrive slightly bent, hence you may want to be cautious when it comes to arranging postage, and thus shouldn't necessarily cheap out on it (like I did XD)For the book, it's gorgeous. There are great pictures with matching analogies for physical phenomena, and a lot of biomedical physics is involved, which is great considering I do Biology. The book is concise and has a great amount of information on the topics at hand, and a plethora of unique and interesting questions, and even chapter questions with fully drawn diagrams and even QR code based videos by Pearson explaining the issues and all of which are narrated as well as they are addressed. No steps are missed.My only problem with the book is the lack of answers to some of the questions, which infuriated me quite a bit. This may just be my ignorance to them being obviously placed in the book, however I was not able to locate any of the answers for the discussion questions. Supposedly you are meant to buy them in not one, but two, two separate books (one for each set of chapters, i.e. 1-20 and so forth, at least from what I've noticed). I also noted that these books don't seem to get too many good reviews for the solutions, supposing they are vague, but I have no experience on that.What I'd like to see from the Author would be the solutions provided free online or something along those lines, as It makes me sad to think that I wont be able to get some sort of gratification on whether or not my answers are correct for a good portion of the interesting questions in the book :(

Great introductory text to university physics
Easy to follow, lots of worked examples, goes over SI units, unit conversions and vector analysis so indepth that anyone coming from a non-physics background could pick it up and tackle some of the more challenging aspects of the subject.

Highly recommended, amazing textbook!
A huge book packed full of everything you could ever need for undergraduate physics! This is a masterpiece with lots of worked examples and the explanations are so clear and detailed. So much has gone into making this great book, it is a life's work of effort by the authors. Buy it.

Excellent book!
Missed it in my study days. So now I can comfortably rehearse physics in my numb without any pressure!

I hoped to learn about physics and this book helped ...
I hoped to learn about physics and this book helped me do that - It does exactly what it says on the tin!!

Too flimsy too large, great book
Pages are extremely flimsy and easy to wear and tear. Not your usual paperback quality GSM.

Great
I teach Physics and Chemistry in English (i'm French) and I wanted to find the right vocabulary of these topics.It'll all good.Examples and applications are great.I'm glad I bought it.

Very detailed book
A very exhaustive and exclusive book on physics. Since it is Indian edition, the paper quality is little bit low but with the given price it works. It is covering from basic to advanced concepts. Although i am not a physics student but my interest in physics and after going through this book it looks it will beneficial for all class of students.

Filled with errors...global edition
Filled with errors. I think this is why the global version is way cheaper than the other versions. This should not be sold because if you are learning new concepts (in my case independently) and it is wrong to begin with, you will make mistakes the entire time. I have had to watch videos on khan academy to clear up the mess this book caused. I am disappointed.

at a better price than anywhere else
The book I needed, at a better price than anywhere else.The paper is flimsy, so treat it with care. Being able to leave chapters that you aren't covering this semester will save you a lot of back ache though.I have to say I hate how the textbook companies work with the colleges to gouge students, but at least buying through Amazon Canada saved me money.
