A textbook for a first course on modern physics, including relativity, quantum physics, and applications. Its unifying theme is the empirical basis of modern physics, and experimental tests of phenomena are discussed throughout. This revised edition includes numerous changes in content, organization, and design (this last including a dazzling insert of color photographs). Computer demonstrations and exercises based on topics from the text are available through the Modern Physics Simulations developed by the Consortium for Upper Level Physics Software (CUPS) and distributed by Wiley.

    This book is terrible.

    This book reads like a history book. It constantly takes the authors six paragraphs to two pages to try and convey a single idea, where one direct and concise sentence would be appropriate, and more often than not, more easily understood. The examples are either convoluted with numbers and conversions you must do on your own or overly simplistic; the technique and general ideas on solving the problems usually get lost on the reader. Horribly, nothing important is bolded or accented in this book. If you forget a variable they mention in a formula down the road, you must flip back and then -sift- through the paragraphs to find the seemingly hidden information you need. Even worse, newly presented formulas are almost always included without variable definitions! They get to them later on, buried in paragraphs, or in the few examples, where you can figure out what that variable is by looking at its units. And somehow, after understanding the example problems, the pool of homework problems at the end of every chapter seems intensely difficult. I am convinced there can be no Modern Physics text worse than this book. I do not, in any way, recommend the purchase of this book.
