Jeff P. writes,

I wish my high school or college had used this book instead of the boring math-based physics text we had. Addresses issues like global warming, energy conservation, etc. to make science interesting and relevant instead of BO-ring. Textbook for one of the most popular introductory classes at University of California at Berkeley.
