About this product

Product Information

How Things Work uses familiar objects to introduce basic physics concepts, demonstrating the excitement and relevance to professionals in a variety of technical fields. Because its structure is defined by real-life examples, this book explores concepts as they're needed and then revisits them later on when they reappear in other objects.

Very fast shipping!! The seller did not list this book according to the e-bay description standards (good should have no highlighting), but the seller did say there was light to moderate highlighting in the book. I'm not sure I would agree the highlighting even fits that description as there are some pages that have more than 50% of them highlighted. Overall, still a positive experience given the fast shipping and the price.

  • Awesome product

    I bought this product because I needed it for college. I like the way how this book describes everything how things work in our everyday life.

  • Bloomfield

    I bought the book for a college physics class. Bloomfield does an excellent job of simply relating complicated subjects to everyday life. The book supports what the professor teaches and also fills in the gaps left.

  • Perfect
