This textbook is a very thorough overview of basic physics; it covers a lot of ground and has a great many review questions at the end of each chapter for the student to use to measure their understanding of the material. It is, therefore, a perfectly adequate and possibly even better-than-adequate text for the subject. It does not, however, make much of any effort to resist devolving into impenetrable jargon after the first few chapters, so it becomes progressively more difficult to follow as it moves along. I would only rate a text 5 stars if it actually made an effort to be accessable to a student who was not prepared to deal with specialized terminology after being told once what the term meant.
