Advance Praise for Head First Physics
“If you want to learn some physics, but you think it’s too difficult, buy this book! It will probably help,
and if it doesn’t, you can always use it as a doorstop or hamster bedding or something. I wish I had a
copy of this book when I was teaching physics.”
— John Allister, physics teacher
Head First Physics has achieved the impossible - a serious textbook that makes physics fun. Students all
over will be thinking like a physicist!”
— Georgia Gale Grant, freelance science writer, communicator and broadcaster
“Great graphics, clear explanations and some crazy real world problems to solve! This text is full of
strategies and tips to attack problems. It encourages a team approach that’s so essential in today’s work
world.”
— Diane Jaquith, high school physics, chemistry and physical science teacher
“This is an outstandingly good teacher masquerading as a physics book! You never feel phased if you
don’t quite understand something the first time because you know it will be explained again in a different
way and then repeated and reinforced. ”
— Marion Lang, teacher
“This book takes you by the hand and guides you through the world of physics.”
— Catriona Lang, teacher
Head First Physics really rocks - I never thought it was possible to enjoy learning physics so much! This
book is about understanding and not about rote learning, so you can get to grips with the physics and
remember it much better as a result.”
— Alice Pitt-Pitts

Praise for the Head First Approach
“There are books you buy, books you keep, books you keep on your desk, and thanks to O’Reilly and the
Head First crew, there is the ultimate category, Head First books. They’re the ones that are dog-eared,
mangled, and carried everywhere. Head First SQL is at the top of my stack. Heck, even the PDF I have
for review is tattered and torn.”
— Bill Sawyer, ATG Curriculum Manager, Oracle

pragmatism and wit.”

and Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town

— Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer, and co-author of Design
Patterns
“One of the funniest and smartest books on software design I’ve ever read.”
