About the Book

Intended for non-science majors Physics Courses

Since defining this course 30 years ago, Paul Hewitt's best-selling text continues as the benchmark by which all others are judged. In Conceptual Physics, 12th Edition Paul Hewitt makes physics interesting, understandable, and relevant for non-science majors. The 12th Edition will delight students with informative and fun Hewitt-Drew-It screencasts, updated content and applications.

Hewitt's text is guided by the principle of 'concepts before calculations' and is famous for engaging students with analogies and imagery from the real-world that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics.

Features
  • An extensive full-colour figure and photo program includes the author's hallmark cartoons, which are both approachable and informative.
  • Fun and easy-to-perform projects involve students in the scientific process of exploration and observation.
  • Insight boxes provide short snippets of information about how topics in the text relate to real-life situations, experiments, and other parts of the book.
  • Check Yourself and Check Your Answer boxes embedded within the text help students gauge their level of understanding of the material just covered.
  • Practicing Physics boxes allow students to work through a problem or experiment based on the material covered in each chapter.
  • A wide variety of problems are provided at the end of each chapter.
  • Conceptual Ranking end of chapter exercises help students master important concepts.
  • Multiple-choice Practice Exams at the end of each part enable the student to assess their grasp of the material they just learned.
New to this edition
  • Over 200 QR codes throughout the book allow students to use a mobile device to instantly watch Paul Hewitt's video demonstrations and Hewitt Drew It screencasts to prepare for lecture and gain a better conceptual understanding of physics.
  • A new interior design provides an attractive, fresh, and accessible new look, updating a classic text to be even more student friendly.
  • Updated applications are available for digital technology, environment, and energy. These topics are at the forefront of everyone's consciousness these days and an intelligent awareness of their scientific foundations will give rise to better decision making in the political arena.
  • Enhanced coverage of topics in energy and environment are included and help to keep students aware of current events.
  • Revised End of Chapter sections fit Bloom's Taxonomy. All end of chapter material has been rearranged and revised as needed to fit into Bloom's taxonomy categories.
  • All sections are now numbered to allow for more instructor flexibility in assigning class material.

About the Author :

Paul G. Hewitt

Former silver-medal boxing champion, sign painter, uranium prospector, and soldier, Paul began college at the age of 27, with the help of the GI Bill. He pioneered the conceptual approach to teaching physics at the City College of San Francisco. He has taught as a guest teacher at various middle schools and high schools, the University of California at both the Berkeley and Santa Cruz campuses, and the University of Hawaii at both the Manoa and Hilo campuses. He also taught for 20 years at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, which honored him with its Outstanding Educator Award in 2000. He is the author of Conceptual Physics and a co-author of Conceptual Physical Science and Conceptual Physical Science Explorations (with John Suchocki and Leslie Hewitt).
