Assuming no prior knowledge, this established textbook provides a complete course in physics for beginners and includes coverage on seven core areas of physics, including mechanics, materials, waves and electricity. Readers will develop a solid understanding of topics such as fields, electromagnetism, electronics, atomic and nuclear physics and thermodynamics, and are encouraged to engage with the text through exercises and revision questions. Illustrations are used extensively to complement theoretical explanations and help readers understand the fundamentals of physics.

This book is aimed at students on access or foundation programmes in physics, but is also ideal for non-specialist students on degree courses such as biological sciences, chemical sciences, engineering, mathematics and geology, for whom physics is a subsidiary subject. It is also suitable for trainee science teachers and medical students who need to develop a solid background in physics.

New to this Edition:
- Brand-new unit on Rotational Dynamics
- Attractive new layout and design, with more illustrations and use of colour
- Expanded companion website with case studies on applications of physics, resources to develop essential mathematical skills, practical experiments and much more

Accompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsburyonlineresources.com/physics-4e. These resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using this textbook and are available at no extra cost.
