The new Ninth Edition of Halliday, Resnick and Walker's Fundamentals of Physics ?has been strategically revised to focus on engaging students, supporting critical thinking and moving students to the next level of physics understanding. Key to the?Ninth Edition's support for critical thinking and development of understanding physics concepts is Jearl Walker's modern voice.? Jearl Walker is both an active teacher, who understands the challenges faced in today's classroom, and a world renowned communicator of science to the general public. His Flying Circus of Physics is a cult classic among physics students and instructors and material from this book is integrated throughout the Ninth Edition to catch students' attention, engage them, and encourage them to solve the underlying real world physics phenomenon and concepts, before they begin the more quantitative portion of the content or problem.
Good stuff. Easy to read and understand. Nice. This is worth buying even if you don't need it for a course. :-)
Still alive and well

More than thirty years ago, when I was an engineering student, my physics "Bible" was Halliday & Resnick, Physics for Students of Science and Engineering, 1st Edition. This is a book that has aged gracefully. While the basic physics concepts were retained, the examples have been updated in each revision to keep up with the technology advances. Now in its seventh edition since Walker started to collaborate with the previous authors, it is still one of the most enjoyable readings in elementary physics. I recommend it without reservation.
