About the author
David Halliday
978 books46 followersDavid Halliday (March 3, 1916 – April 2, 2010) was an American physicist known for his physics textbooks, Physics and Fundamentals of Physics, which he wrote with Robert Resnick. Both textbooks have been in continuous use since 1960 and are available in more than 47 languages.
His Physics has been used widely and is considered to have revolutionized physics education by many. Now in its tenth edition in a two-volume set revised by Jearl Walker, and under the title Fundamentals of Physics, it is still highly regarded. It is noted for its clear standardized diagrams, very thorough but highly readable pedagogy, outlook into modern physics, and challenging, thought provoking problems. In 2002 the American Physical Society named the work the most outstanding introductory physics text of the 20th century.

I have the 9th edition. (published 2010) by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker.

I thought it was well written and easy (most of the time) to comprehend. Considering this is only a first year course textbook (maybe different for other universities?) most of the concepts were explained in detail. I used it for my classes, and I didn't read the whole textbook (just the chapters related to my course). I won't be selling my copy. It makes for a great physics reference book for the future.
