The overall goal of this calculus-based text is to provide an introduction to physics with a modern point of view. It emphasizes the atomic nature of matter, macro-micro connections, and modeling complex physical systems. The approach is designed to go beyond low-level physics and to build upon readers' prior preparation. 
The first volume deals with mechanics and thermal physics in a unified way, with strong emphasis on atomic-level description and analysis. The ball-and-spring model of solids is a major theme, culminating in computing the specific heat as a function of temperature for an Einstein solid, using the concepts of statistical mechanics.

The overall goal of this calculus-based text is to provide an introduction to physics with a modern point of view. It emphasizes the atomic nature of matter, macro-micro connections, and modeling complex physical systems. The approach is designed to go beyond low-level physics and to build upon readers' prior preparation. 
The second volume deals with electricity and magnetism, and with physical optics in terms of the classical interaction of light and matter. Atomic models of matter are again a major theme. A key feature is the unified treatment of electrostatics and circuits in terms of electric field and microscopic models of matter.

Matter and Interactions II: Electric and Magnetic Interactions

The third edition provides practicing physicists with the fundamental principles that underlie the behavior of matter while presenting a modern integration of 20th Century physics. Emphasis is placed on constructing and using physical models. Serious computer modeling is introduced in the beginning to help build a strong foundation on the use of this important tool. End-of-chapter problems delve into experiments using simple equipment to gain insight into deep scientific issues. Stop and Think questions are also included to engage physicists in the material.

Matter and Interactions, Volume II: Electric and Magnetic Interactions

Matter and Interactions offers a modern curriculum for introductory physics (calculus-based). It presents physics the way practicing physicists view their discipline and integrates 20th Century physics and computational physics. The text emphasizes the small number of fundamental principles that underlie the behavior of matter, and models that can explain and predict a wide variety of physical phenomena. Matter and Interactions will be available as a single volume hardcover text and also two paperback volumes.

The curriculum has been restructured so that students will have the necessary fundamental understanding of charges and fields before going on to more complex issues. Qualitative reasoning and quantitative analysis are discussed equally in order to provide a meaningful conceptual framework within which the quantitative work makes more sense. Atomic-level analysis is stressed and electrostatics and circuits are unified. Desktop experiments can be conducted at home or in the classroom and are tightly integrated with the theoretical treatment.

Electric and Magnetic Interactions

A modern introduction to physics for advanced students, this work focuses on the atomic structure of the material plus the links between macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. Above all, readers learn how to explain complex physical processes using simple models. This first volume is devoted to mechanics and the theory of heat, and the illustrations are made particularly clear due to the consistent use of models, such as the ball and feather model for solids. By the end of the book readers will be able to calculate, for example, the specific heat capacity of an Einstein solid using a statistical approach.

A modern introduction to physics for advanced students, this work focuses on the atomic structure of the material plus the links between macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. Above all, readers learn how to explain complex physical processes using simple models. This second volume deals with the theory of electricity and magnetism, as well as physical optics as understood by the classical interaction between light and material. Electrostatics and currents are discussed in a simplified way using the electrical field and microscopic models.
