What a wonderful book. I read it from cover to cover for fun after buying it second-hand for small change. Learning is much more reinforcing if one has the time and opportunity to do it alone. I studied physics at university decades ago and, although it was appealing at the time, I had more pressing interests, particularly in the biomedical fields. No exams and no pressure for a high grade makes all the difference to self-learning. Textbooks are much better today and each heading can even be explored as a You Tube tutorial. This tome has opened up for me a whole new world of interests in that I can now appreciate how a physicist would tackle problems.

This is the book that I used to try and learn physics in university without very much success. I didn't want to keep it anymore so I donated it to the library. Maybe someone else will have better luck than I did.
