An Introduction to Physical Science presents a survey of the physical sciences–physics, chemistry, astronomy, meteorology, and geology–for non-science majors. Topics are treated both descriptively and quantitatively, providing flexibility for instructors who wish to emphasize a highly descriptive approach, a highly quantitative approach, or anything in between. The Eleventh Edition includes content and features that help students better visualize concepts, master basic math, and practice problem solving. In addition, a dynamic technology package accompanies the text

An Introduction to Physical Science, 12e, International Edition presents a survey of the physical sciences-physics, chemistry, astronomy, meteorology, and geology-for non-science majors. Topics are treated both descriptively and quantitatively, providing flexibility for instructors who wish to emphasize a highly descriptive approach, a highly quantitative approach, or anything in between. Time-tested pedagogical tools address the needs of a range of learning styles: concepts to be treated mathematically are consistently introduced from three perspectives (definition, word equation, symbol notation); Confidence Exercises follow in-text Examples, giving students an opportunity for immediate practice and reinforcement; and updated Spotlight On features use figures, photos, or flowcharts to visually summarize important topics.

With their best-selling astronomy textbook, ASTRONOMY: THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND BEYOND, 6e, International Edition authors Mike Seeds and Dana Backman help you understand your place in the universe not just your location in space, but your role in the unfolding history of the physical universe. To achieve this goal, the authors focus on two central questions: What Are We?, which highlights your place as a planet dweller in an evolving universe, guiding you to better understand where we came from and how we formed, and How Do We Know? which provides insights into how the process of science can teach us more about what we are. Virtual Astronomy Labs, an online, interactive way for you to explore astronomy from your own computer is available for bundling with each new text.

This classical mechanics text provides a complete account of the classical mechanics of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies. The authors make extensive use of vector calculus to explore topics. Coverage also includes the Lagrangian formulation of mechanics. Modern notation and terminology are used throughout in support of the text’s objective: to facilitate the transition to the quantum theory of physics.

This text treats the unification of electromagnetic and weak interactions and considers related phenomena. Firstly, the Fermi theory of beta decay is presented, followed by a discussion of parity violation, clarifying the importance of symmetries. Then the concept of a spontaneously broken gauge theory is introduced, and all necessary mathematical tools are carefully developed. The “standard model” of unified electroweak interactions is thoroughly discussed, including current developments. The final chapter contains an introduction to unified theories of strong and electroweak interactions.

Introduction To Mechatronics And Measurement Systems” provides an accessible overview of the evolving field of mechatronics. David G. Alciatore and Michael B. Histand have taken careful steps to present measurement systems and electronics, which are fundamental to understanding mechatronic systems. This second edition features a new chapter that presents microcontroller programming and interfacing. In addition to analysis techniques, design considerations are presented throughout the text. The text’s numerous illustrations, examples, and problems provide an opportunity to see and apply mechatronics to actual problems encountered in engineering practice. This text has been tested over several years to ensure accuracy.

Theoretical physics has become a many-faceted science. For the young student it is difficult enough to cope with the overwhelming amount of new scientific material that has to be learned, let alone to obtain an overview of the entire field, which ranges from mechanics through electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, field theory, nuclear and heavy-ion science, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, and solid state theory to elementary-particle physics.

For nearly 30 years, Paul Tipler’s Physics for Scientists and Engineers has set the standard for science and engineering students taking introductory physics courses. This Fifth Edition introduces co-author Gene Mosca, resulting in a teaching tool that retains its clarity, precision and rigour, but also offers students the support they need to solve problems strategically and to gain real understanding of physical concepts. – New features include enhanced working examples including some new ‘Plausibility checks’ and ‘Put it in Context’ examples where each chapter contains one or more ‘context-rich’ worked examples that state the problem indirectly.
