Summary: I was actually looking for a replacement to this book
Comment: ...When I bumped into it during my search for a new physics book.

I'm a high schooler taking Physics. My teacher never uses this book.I decided to crack it open one day because my teacher doesn't explain things well so I thought maybe I could teach myself through the textbook. Too bad it friggin sucks. Everything is explained horribly, and one of the most confusing things, projectile motion, is totally left out. This is just the beginning of the school year so I am unsure how many other important subjects are left out of this book.

Plus, although this might not bother you as much as it did me, there are really crappy kiddy cartoons throughout the book. They are not funny nor helpful.
Worst textbook I've ever received.

Summary: Beware that the lab book comes with package edition
Comment: I bought this book for my high school daughter so I can't really rate it. But be aware that the lab book comes with the package edition so don't order it separately or you'll have to send it back like I did.

Summary: Worst physics textbook yet!
Comment: This book is highly unorganized, important concepts are all over the chapters. The illustrations are bad, distracting and most of the time, not descriptive. But the worst thing is at the end, some review questions and exercises require students to know some equations that are never touched in the book; some questions require you to know some Algebra 2 level stuff and some concepts are not taught.

Editorial Review for Conceptual Physics:

Written for students of introductory physics, this best-selling text offers students an upbeat, non-threatening overview of the discipline which focuses on concepts and critical thinking rather than number-crunching. It presents physics in a language students can comprehend, using analogies and mental imagery based on real world situations. Mathematical equations, formulas, and calculations appear as a footnote on the page to reference and supplement chapter concepts and help students see the connection between math and science.
