This two-volume modern textbook for introductory calculus-based college physics courses emphasizes qualitative as well as quantitative reasoning, and puts heavy emphasis on atomic-level description and analysis. Its goals are to stress the basic principles of physics, engage students in modeling, and include 20th century applications.

Good approach

I really admire the approach of this text...I actually liked the older edition (of the E&M text) where you filled in the boxes as you went, but the explicit linkage between mechanics, microscopic phenomena, and the stick and ball model of matter really is a satisfying way to learn about physics...
