"Thinking Physics"

Reviews "Thinking Physics is fascinating to dip into, even for the informed physicist." -The New Scientist  "Explanations deal with concepts and do not require mathematical aptitude. Very good explanations, some of the best I have ever seen. Students will love it." -The Physics Teacher "No other physics book can match this. It is rigorously correct despite lighthearted style and cleverly designed to spur thought in physics students of all ages." -Choice     562 pages - that's not a thin book! ISBN: 0-935218-06-8

In real life the question comes first and the explanation follows. In school the lecture comes first and the exam follows. In this book, as in real life, the question comes first. When the explanation follows it goes to the central point fast. There is an easy way to explain anything (it's just hard to find it). That is Epstein's Law, and this book demonstrates it. Epstein's approach evolved from his experience presenting technical testimony to trial juries and congressional hearings. And it works in school too, all the way from grammar school to grad school.
