Good revision Book - By: , 06 Oct 2003 
It is a very good book, it contains everything that you need for the syllabus. It is a good study guide, but not as a text book, it doesn't goin very detail, you might not understand what is says by just reading this book, it just gives you the main points.
Completely outstanding for its purpose - By: Anders Rasmussen, 12 Apr 2003 Before this this book was published we used Young & Freedman's University Physics bookin our classes (the International Baccalaureate diploma programme). It was a very good book, however, just the sight of it will make any student wish he/she had never chosen physics (1500 pages). This book contains only what IB students need to know. It has a good balancein terms of detail (which is often a problemin other books), but most importantly - it teaches concepts the IB way. All fomulas & all formulation are the same asin the formula sheet & hence also similar to thosein the final exams. The exercise questions are taken from previous IB exams. In fact I haven’t found anything negative about this book so far. The only thing which couldin some situations be negative is that it have a strong IB bias – which could lead to problems for other kinds of student.
All these factors make this book inestimable for any IB-student. For the "interested reader" it gives a good picture of a large area of physicsin just 160 pages. Buy this book!
