Received book promptly. It was in new condition, as it was stated in the description. Good price compared to other online stores. Overall, excellent service! I would buy again from parakletosbooks.

Great physics book. I bought it because it was required for my college class and I find it well-written and a useful text.

I'm not a connoisseur of Physics books but I've had a few and this one is the least boring and most up to date on I've read.
Excellent product and Excellent service March 2, 2009

The merchant was very honest and timely in the delivery of the product. I am extremely pleased with the product and service.
Mechanical Engineering/EIT certified, et. al accolades review of an Engineering Physics Textbook November 28, 2008
Marc J. Driftmeyer (WA)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm appauled at the low reviews of this tomb. I tutored, at one time, two dozen students in Physics, both for Engineering certified students [requiring Calculus and a textbook of this caliber] to General Physics for Business, Biology, and other non-calculus majors.
This is an excellent product. I won't waste the time espousing the added value Feynman's Lectures on Physics Volumes I,II & III would have been useful to my undergraduate days in Mechanical Engineering--they were released by the time I was passed my Applied Mechanics with Calculus requirements.
However, most of these reviews about self-taught and lack of deep examples wreaks of people who hate applied mathematics and actual theoretical physics with practical application--engineering.
This isn't a textbook for the non-engineering/non-physics/non-applied mathematics majors.
This is a textbook for those who thank themselves they understood this material before they take their Mechanics of Materials, Thermosystems, Heat Transfer, Dynamic Systems, Kinematics, Machine Design, Power Systems, Analog Circuits, Optics and other higher level classes focused on a specific sub-discipline within applied physics.
This is an excellent example of Scientific Work.
What I am appauled at is the Regular Price for the most recent releases. I picked up Volume 6 for < $10. That was a steal and an half. No, that was highway robbery. To pay prices > $70 for any textbook is a publisher's way of robbing the public blind.
The Calculus of Mechanics has not changed in over 100 years. The various applications has grown as our overall understanding of the Universe has grown. This pricing with stuff like PhysicsNOW and Infotrac are overkill to anyone who actually grasps the theory of applied Calculus in the physical sciences.
Learn Calculus I, II, & III prior to Physics with Calculus and it becomes a simple application. Learn this with Calculus I and it becomes a real pain. That's life.
Slow your demand to get out in 4 years down, get your Calculus out of the way and then take some of your General University Requirements [GURs] during summer sessions to get through it all.
If you are doing this for self-study and later application, you have no excuse to learn Calculus first, at your own pace, then learn this book--you're not paying to hire a lecturer to walk you through it in detail.
If you learn single and multivariable calculus [up to 3 dimensional integrals], Sequences and Series of Integrals and non-Diff-equations, then this textbook should be straight forward.
You will have learned your Linear Algebra [Matrix Theory] and Calculus beforehand so that Gauss Law, Electromagnetic Field Theory, Optics, Modern Physics, Dynamics of 4 variables and more shouldn't be a problem.
To step into the end game before you learn to walk and then punish the authors for not giving baby steps makes no sense.
