Conceptual Physical Science, Fourth Edition takes learning physical science to a new level by combining Hewitt's leading conceptual approach with a friendly writing style, stronger integration of the sciences, more quantitative coverage, and a wealth of media resources to help professors in class, and students out of class. This engaging text provides a conceptual overview of basic, essential topics in physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy with optional quantitative analyses.
The dynamic media program includes a wealth of Interactive Figures™, Videos, and Interactive Tutorials developed specifically for students taking physical science. Instructors also have a wide array of electronic support materials on the Media Manager CD-ROM set, including JPEGs of all figures from the book, PowerPoint® Lecture Outlines and Clicker Questions, and more.
