Did not use the entire text for physics as the level of detail I needed was quite high. However, I used some of the chapters, especially the first few, and they were extremely helpful. The books strength lies in its ability to explain in very simple terms the physical principles behind every machine. It's one of these books where it's best to read a chapter from start to finish a few times before you really nail down the concept. Cool pictures too that help your understanding. Recommend it for physics.

It was good in that it explains things well, nice diagrams.
Often found myself needing to find a video or another explanation to cement things. Would love colour photos and maybe a summary of key points in each chapter +/- questions to make sure you understood
