Norton's Elements of Physics

Norton's Elements of Physics. 269 pages. This intriguing book is so well written that it does not feel so much like a dry text on the mathematics of physics as an exploration of physical laws, thus allowing someone well acquainted with physics or not at all to read this book with great enjoyment. Carefully illustrated, this book begins by introducing the student first to general notions of matter and force, and then introducing new elements one by one. Friction, adhesion, fluids, sound, light, heat, and electricity are all explored, with careful explanations of experiments and studies done by the scientists who explored these properties.
