Description and Table of Contents

Description

Conceptual Physical Science Media Update, Second Edition is highly regarded for its superior conceptual approach to physics, chemistry, astronomy, and earth sciences. Working from the premise that readers learn best from what they already know, the authors use many interesting analogies and everyday examples to clarify concepts. Illustrations by geology artist Dennis Targa enhance a unique and well-known art program by Paul Hewitt and his co-authors.
