Touch This! Conceptual Physics for Everyone
Written by Paul G. Hewitt, the man who created the conceptual physics course, this book was written for a general audience and assumes no prior knowledge of physics or mathematics. For a variety of reasons, many students feel inadequate in science, particularly in physics. This book is an attempt to strengthen students' conceptual knowledge of physics—conceptual physics, the understanding of nature's rules in common language—so they can better discuss the basic laws of science with anyone giving them a strong foundation on which to build an understanding of science as a whole.
