3 stars (Didn't think that much of it ) - Of course, that may be because I didn't like the course all that much. I thought that the text was too wordy and did not present concepts well enough. The example problems are good to have and so are the chapter summaries. All in all, I thought the concepts could have been explained much better and with less words. 3 stars (I've neven seen a book used less by students that this book.) - The better book lets you get ahead of the class by simply devoting your time on it, in some cases, you don't even need to attend lecture. This book, doesn't allow you that--your pace is limited to the pace of the class. (Students in my class don't rely on this book--only on the lecture--our prof doesn't even refer to the book!) The worked out examples are too simple. I know what you're thinking...you just need to synthesize key concepts from simplier problems to solve the complicated ones...but imagine solving complicated assignments and the book doesn't even explain --at all-- how to approach that kind of problem? The book should deal more with larger number of exercises with varying difficulty. The book should extend key examples in like "what if scenarios," (i.e. if this variable is missing this is how to approach it; if that is missing, this is how you aproach that . . .) The publisher should think about cutting more of the introductory section to each chapter and devote that to added worked out problems. For $150 each, shouldn't the book at least come with a multimedia cd with more worked out problems? Come on! 3 stars (Decent but not great) - I used this book for my first class in college physics. The book is a decent text for learning physics, but I think that several improvements could be made. This book is Volume 1 of a two volume set. It includes topics about kinematics, Newton's Laws, Energy, Waves and Sound, Fluids, and Thermodynamics, among other topics. To tell the truth, I don't r...

5 stars (How I learned physics) - This book saved me in my first physics class. Working through the example problems really helped me when the teacher was obtuse. Most of basic physics that I know now I learned from this text. I found it slow reading, but what engineering/physics text is not? If you're looking to be spoon-fed the Understanding of Physics, then this book is not it. If you're looking to do well in class, then this book is worth the time and effort. My high regard for this book is biased by my abysmally low regard for the "teacher" who taught me less physics ideas than I can count with one hand of fingers. But when it's 1 am in the morning, you have a physics test in 9 hours, and you can only have one text, this is definitely it. 2 stars (Overrated) - The book is very overrated. It is obtuse and most of the problems are completely unsolvable based on the information and examples given. It is grossly overpriced. This book is worth maybe $50, and that is pushing it. I get good grades in physics, but not because of this book. If it wasn't for my fantastic instructor, this series of courses would be a total nightmare. The chapters dealing with force, energy, torque, momentum, and angular momentum are among the worst that I have gone through. The optics section is also pretty weak. I did like the chapter on gravitational force(13). There are too many textbooks out there that assume that the reader already knows the subject, as hard as it is too believe, math books are notorious for it. This book is yet another one. 1 stars (Irritating) - I am not an idiot. Far from it. However, I can't understand the glowing praise I see this book receiving. As I am currently working through this text, I may be a bit closer to home than those who have completed the task. I am seriously less than fond of this book. There doesn't seem to be enough background in the material to handle the problems. This is most noticeable in the middle chapters. Ther...

4 stars (Definitive book for understanding DNN) - I had just started playing around with content management systems when I can across DNN. At first, the interface seemed slick and all seemed to be going great guns, even when I had not read any book or reviews of DNN. Ane then came the problems....some pages wouldn't get deleted...the DNN tree just didn't seem to work. That was when I bought the book and enjoyed every topic it covered. I was helped a lot by the ASP.Net forum, where all sorts of issues were discussed. Overall, a pleasant experience and would recomment this over the other VB.Net book for DNN. 1 stars (A Huge Disappointment) - Two of us have been trying since 9:00 this morning to get DotNetNuke installed on a development server using the instructions in this book. It is now 9:00 in the evening. We aren't newbies, either--I have used SQL Server and ASP.Net for several years. During the course of our day, we discovered several outright errors is the installation chapter (for example, the wrong SQL Server password is shown in the Web.config example) and the web site for the book is woefully incomplete in its errata notes. I rarely give books single-star reviews, but this one is deserved. If a zero-star rating was available, that's what I'd give it. 5 stars (Shaun Walker is the Obi Wan of DNN) - How can you do better than having a book written by the guy that leads the project? Shaun Walker is the man when it comes to Dot Net Nuke. He is uniquely qualified to provide insight into the internal structure of the system. ...
