Kevin Higgins: I got this text so I can be reminded of what, is there, I had become aware too.

Ice T: This book is a powerful insight for how to look at the physical world in a rational, quantifiable way. It is written for regular people to understand and talks its way through the necessary formulae. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in physics, anyone who is about to take a physics class, or anyone who simply wants to know more about how the world works.

Todds Books: Examples and explanations are clear and easily accessible to just about anyone with an interest in physics. So much so that I would like to make one suggestion to the author - Please write a similar book (or even a few pages) that addresses forces as applied to the field of amateur astronomy. I would very much like some help in understanding the rotation and orbits of planets, binary (or larger) star systems, even galaxies, and how it all interacts. Thank you!!

Fireman721: As I read through this book I thought 'wow wish I had this when I was I high school and college'. The presentation is straightforward, the math solutions are well presented and easily understandable. My problem comes with some of the author's concepts. With math at this level the author should know there is no such thing as centrifugal force (there is inertia and centripetal force) but there it is, even in a title no less. Also the author confuses mass and weight, another relatively basic and important distinction. So I ask myself, what other concepts are being misrepresented that I don't know enough about to recognize? Having said that, my opening remarks still hold; straightforward, clear math explanations which is a plus in anybody's book.

Recomendo para estudantes de engenharia mecânica ou demais que sentem necessidade de uma primeira abordagem sobre o tema. E embora seja prático, não é superficial.
