Title: Not a good book at all.
Product review: I'm an engineer who has taken many physics classes and taught physics once at a community college. Now one of my children is using this in school for learning AP physics B. I can honestly say if this had been my first exposure to physics, I'd be in a different profession.I find some of the choices to emphasize certain things quite strange. For example, the book spends an inordinately long time on the difference between speed and velocity and then the author uses them wrong in a problem at the end of the chapter. But then elastic collisions don't get nearly the space I'd give (or other books give) them.Also, this book's explanation of torque is one of the worst explanation of a technical concept I've ever seen. I've only read through to chapter 7 so I'm sure there is a lot more to complain about.I dug up one of my 25 year old textbooks and my daughter uses that instead to learn from and gets everything much more easily.
