Title: Dry like sandpaper
Product review: I used this book as an introduction to modern physics for the first semester of my modern physics sequence. This is what I think of the book:ProsThe book is fairly easy. Lots of examples to help with the end of chapter problems. Lots of history (Yawn).ConsBoring. Too many references to histroical developments. Lots of information but well not well developed. In fact that's all this book is, a bunch of disjointed facts. The people who wrote this book spent way too little time developing IDEAS and the MATH that describes them. Instead, they skimmed over TONS of details and spit out formulas in pretty pink boxes. Anyways, the writing is dry, lengthy, and dodges the point. It's like reading an encyclopedia of physics history. Inelegant. Ineffective.Oh by the way, THIS BOOK STINKS (or maybe it's those pink boxes I hate).You may like it, but i didn't.
