College Physics Book

A dedicated college physics instructor praised by students for his ability to wrap concepts into "good stories," Urone has written a text that blends traditional topics covered in the introductory course with modern material. Familiar ideas from modern physics such as the existence of atoms and the conversion of mass into energe are incorporated early. The author devotes an entire chapter to applications of nuclear physics and another to particle physics, and adds a concluding chapter covering the field's most current endeavors.
