Product Description
Review
"Those of us who have used Stephen Pople's previous text from Oxford - the equally optimistic Explaining Physics- will already appreciate his ability to focus, succintly and accurately, on the key points needed for understanding. Complete Physics retains this precision of argument, but good use of colour, illustrations and layout give a vibrant and interesting feel to the book which will lead many GCSE candidates to understand topics that they perceived as difficult. Enough detail is given so that the A* candidate has the necessary background, but the text is intelligible by those with lower aspirations. ...Stephen Pople has produced a book that will satisfy the requirements of all 16+ syllabuses, including IGCSE and O Level, in an accurate and readable way; students should enjoy using it whether they are working in a class or using the book for personal revision. (R S Shorter, Winchester College. Contemporary Physics, 2000 Volume 41 Number 5 )
This book contains all the essential concepts for GCSE (or equivalent) physics courses or general science courses at Key Stage 4. (Physics Education )
...students should enjoy using it whether they are working in a class or using the book for personal revision. (Contemporary Physics Vol.45, No 5 2000 )

Format:Paperback
I have a number of Physics books by Stephen Pople - all of them good. This is one of his newest books, and probably the best. It certainly has more material in it and is currently used by schools to teach GCSE Physics.
Like his other books, the material is clearly explained and is well illustrated. In this book there are 13 chapters, and these are split up into two-page spreads that cover a single topic. Each of these topics could easily be covered within an hour. There are a small number of questions for each topic. Then at the end of each chapter there are many exam-type questions with answers at the back of the book.
This book could be used to compensate for a poor teacher, as everything is so well explained and so can be used to teach yourself.

This book actually explains physics. For instance, within the sections on electricity it doesn't just given you the equations for V = IR etc, it explains them as well. When explaining that 2 10 ohm resistors in parallel have less resistance than a single 10 ohm resistor in series, he gives the perfect analogy of a thicker wire. I'm not doing justice to this book in a short note like this - but take it from me that it's brilliant.
