Advance Praise for Head First Physics

“If you want to learn some physics, but you think it’s too difficult, buy this book! It will probably help, and if it doesn’t, you can always use it as a doorstop or hamster bedding or something. I wish I had a copy of this book when I was teaching physics.”

John Allister, physics teacher

Head First Physics has achieved the impossible - a serious textbook that makes physics fun. Students all “over will be thinking like a physicist!”

Georgia Gale Grant, freelance science writer, communicator and broadcaster

“Great graphics, clear explanations and some crazy real world problems to solve! This text is full of strategies and tips to attack problems. It encourages a team approach that’s so essential in today’s work world.”

Diane Jaquith, high school physics, chemistry and physical science teacher

“This is an outstandingly good teacher masquerading as a physics book! You never feel phased if you don’t quite understand something the first time because you know it will be explained again in a different way and then repeated and reinforced.”

Marion Lang, teacher

“This book takes you by the hand and guides you through the world of physics.”

Catriona Lang, teacher

Head First Physics really rocks - I never thought it was possible to enjoy learning physics so much! This “book is about understanding and not about rote learning, so you can get to grips with the physics and remember it much better as a result.”
