<p>This text contains a running story line about how the current physics "world view" came to be. This story line is divided into nine parts framed by an introductory chapter ("A World View") which puts the approach into context. This approach gives non-science students an appreciation for the laws of nature and physics contribution to that understanding. The new sixth edition uses the latest physics education principles to emphasize conceptual understanding, both in the main narrative and in the accompanying media program. Designed to fit the specific needs of any non-majors physics course, the text is flexible, fully modular and now can be customized to fit any syllabus through Cengage Learning's TextChoice custom solution program. Mathematics is used minimally, but for instructors wishing to incorporate more problem-solving skills and quantitative reasoning, the optional, slightly more detailed, "Problem Solving to accompany Physics: A World View" student supplement reveals more of the beauty and power of mathematics in physics. The new edition includes access to PhysicsNow, a powerful personal student study companion. This interactive online resource uses a series of chapter-specific diagnostics to gauge students' unique study needs, then provides a Personalized Learning Plan that focuses their study time on the concepts they need to review most. Active Figure tutorial simulations provide an opportunity for students to learn through observation, further enhancing conceptual understanding.</p>

<p>PHYSICS: A CONCEPTUAL WORLD VIEW provides an engaging and effective introduction to physics through an ongoing storyline that describes the development of the current physics "world view." This story provides readers with a clear understanding of the laws of nature and the context to fully appreciate the importance of physics. The book's appealing style and minimal use of math also help to make complex material interesting and easy to grasp, even for readers intimidated by physics or math. In addition, the new Seventh Edition includes a thoroughly revised art program featuring elements such as balloon captions and numerous illustrations to help readers better visualize key concepts. In this remarkable book, the authors masterfully translate the logic, vocabulary, and values of physics into a compelling narrative that general readers can readily understand and enjoy.</p>
