[replicant]

I have checked the book on Amazon through the look inside and it has not convinced me. I have the impression that it is the kind of book that spend loads of pages to talk about a simple idea. I am more inclined towards books that are not very thick and that force you to be a quite active reader. My personal choice for 1st year physics text book is Physics by Alonso Finn. Their attempt to build all the concepts from basic ideas is what appeals to me most. It also present some rather challenging problems for an undergraduate.
