Text-Book of Physics: a clear, comprehensive introduction to the ideas that power the physical world. It explains energy, measurements, waves, light, sound, and vision with practical examples.
This edition ties fundamental concepts to real-world observing and experiments. It discusses how energy flows through systems, how units of length and time are defined, and how different forms of energy interconvert. Readers gain a practical sense of how scientists study physics and apply it to physiology and medicine.
Ideal for readers new to physics or anyone seeking a solid, approachable foundation in the subject.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book approaches physics from the perspective of its vital importance to medical students and practitioners, providing a practical handbook of the subject that is both manageable in size and thorough in content. The author's treatment of the subject is sufficiently broad to be useful to students in other scientific disciplines, including chemical, engineering, and general science, based on lectures for the Intermediate Examination in Science at London University. More advanced and difficult concepts are set in smaller type, allowing the student to skip them if desired. The book begins by defining the concept of energy, a quantity that figures heavily in the study of physics, especially in the context of conservation laws. The author then discusses length, time, and mass, the three basic measurements in physics. Velocity, acceleration, and force are defined in relation to these basic measurements, and the vectors of these quantities are described. The book also covers topics in heat, properties of fluids and solids, electricity and magnetism, electrostatics, and chemistry. The author draws connections between concepts in physics and their applications in the real world, especially in physiology, a discipline where physics plays an increasingly important role. The book thus provides a solid foundation in physics for students in the biological sciences, and a useful overview for students in other scientific disciplines.
