 Rating:  - on timeThe book showed up in the condition it was described as. I would buy from this seller again. Rating: - It seemed even my professor was enlightenedI think this text does an excellent job of presenting "physics without the numbers."

The paragraphs are written colloquially with a blatant disregard for punctuation, and the author seems to think that using many italics will help children in their fruitless quest to ...

They were very prompt in mailing this book to me. My child has started using it yet, but the promptness of the delivery was very important to me. Thanks
