The new title reflects changes in this new edition that make the text an appropriate choice for an applied general education physics course as well as for a traditional technical physics course.

The authors make challenging and difficult concepts easier to understand by applying physics concepts in everyday applications, with which the students are already familiar, as well as in technical applications.

Concepts are explained and reinforced with numerous detailed examples, photos and illustrations, and more than 3200 problems and questions.

To allow for customized programs of study, chapters have been written with flexibility of topic presentation in mind..
