Review
Advanced Physics is a wonderful book which makes physics inspiring and mind-blowing. It is beautifully laid out and has an excellent balance of text to worked examples, illustrations, practice questions and key points. (TES )
This is a superb text and is probably the most comprehensive single-volume AS/A2 physics text currently available...All teachers will learn something from this new and valuable text. (School Science Review )

Product Description
Written by experienced authors and members of the Editorial Board of the I.O.P., Advanced Physics maintains the rigours of physics at the highest levels in a style that makes it accessible to a wide range of students. It is increasingly acknowledged that many of the problems students experience with A-Level Physics are associated with the mathematics involved. Advanced Physics deals with the problem head-on with full support for mathematics in physics. 'Maths boxes' have been created within the text to pull out the mathematics needed to grasp a particular concept. A complete appendix at the end of the book has also been added to offer the extra mathematical support needed. Key Points: · Objectives stated clearly at the beginning of every spread · Full colour illustrations · Graduated questions and practice

Format:Paperback
I am a student currently sitting my AS exams, bought this book a few months ago and I have to say that it is truly excellent, probably the best 'reference/revision' book I have ever used. It's style is very clear, the text and descriptions are well written and thought out and overall the book does a great job of explaining concepts. The diagrams and examples are helpful and the pictures make the book seem more approachable and 'easy on the eye'.
The thing that I have personally found it the most helpful for has been the clarifying of certain concepts, and the reasons why things work in certain ways. It has succeeded where, in some aspects, my physics teachers haven't (through lack of time and not being on the same wavelength as most people), especially in dealing with particular details about facts or concepts.
However, perhaps the highest praise I can make of it is that it is a book which I would (and do) willingly pick up to read, just for the enjoyment of learning something new. It deals with many aspects of physics, going beyond, or beside, the A Level syllabus in many places, and it has obviously written by people passionate about the subject who enjoy writing about it.
I would recomend this book to anyone in my position, who is a) taking as/a level physics exams and b)who wants to do well in it, because no matter how well you 'know it', there's always more you can learn, and this book will do a great job of teaching you it.

Format:Paperback
In a word this book is amazing. It contains reverent up to date information and apart from being a great textbook for all major exam boards, it's a great read for anyone interested in physics alike. If you've ever wanted to find out more about quarks or neutrinos, or maybe brush up on your mechanics, even find out about current methods of telecommunication (it even includes 3g!) then this is the book for you. Its brilliantly laid out with good use of colour and includes practical examples throughout the book. While I think I might have found the book hard at the beginning of AS level, it is an invaluable resource for A2. All I can say is once you've read this book you'll be treating the authors like gods!

Format:Paperback
This book contains information for all AS/A2 boards including AQA/OCR/Edexcel/WJEC/CCEA! Great reference with detailed explanations in full colour. Several math windows and worked examples to guide students and Practice questions at the end of each chapter! Past paper questions on each topic from all boards and the answers to all these questions are at the end of the book! A must get for anyone doing Advenced Levels! Trust me you won't regret buying the book.

A quality A level physics text
I cannot add much to the reviews already written. This is arguably still the best of the general (i.e. non exam board specific) A level physics textbooks. Read more

Advanced Physics Textbook
A very valuable resource which is suitable for post A level studies also. Particularly helpful for those who are visual learners.
