Physics: Principles with Applications (7th Edition) - Standalone book

Love how this book breaks down the concepts and has so many helpful practice problems at the end of the chapter and throughout the chapters to practice the concepts. Highly recommend this book!

The book contents are awesome and the book is new.

I am renting this book for the semester for my online physics class. I received this book about a month ago and it has been helpful so far for this course. I mainly use it just for the homework questions rather than to teach myself physics because my online physics professor posts lecture videos online that I use to learn the material.After ordering it, I received this book within 2 days in fairly good condition. It has some minor dents and scratches but that is expected since it is used. There is some occasional highlighting within the text throughout the book but nothing too extreme. I am very pleased with the condition it came in.In comparison to other websites and books, the cost on Amazon was the most reasonable and affordable to rent at $40.If you are thinking of using this book to teach yourself physics, I would consider finding a simpler edition. When I tried to use the text to help me on my test, I found it confusing and not very helpful.I gave this product 4 out of 5 stars because while I do find it helpful in the context of using it solely for the homework problems, it may not be helpful for someone looking to teach themselves physics right out of the book.Overall, my experience with this product has been good.

Book came in plastic and for a second I thought I purchased it. Then I reviewed my account and saw it was under as a rental. No sticker on book indicating it is for rental use. A bit confusing yet not really that big of a deal. Thanks Amazon! You were lower than Chegg! Keep up the great work!

You could tell it’d been used but still easy to read and a good price!

I rented this for one of my classes. To begin, the cover was slightly worn and there were a few pages missing. However, for a rental, it was suitable for use and it got the job done. Definitely recommend renting this if you’re looking to save money

Granddaughter needed the book for school.

The book itself maybe great. The problem lies with answers. Now, this book actually helps you understand what physics is. BUT, this book does not teach you how to apply them. Giving off answers to the exercises and problems do not help students to apply physics.Since, I like to learn how to apply them, I bought the separate Study Guide and Solutions (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321762401/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_10) for this book. This guide is a PIECE OF CRAP. Clearly, the AUTHOR (I do respect him for writing a good book) wants money out of students pocket. How to learn physics with a book that give you couple of problem's solution guide in one chapter. I'm serious. The study guide guides you maximum of 10 questions. He should've given at least 20~30 problems in the solution book to help students out. But he didn't. If you are studying with this book at school, you should really asking your professors a lot of question to actually learn how to APPLY physics.
