Book Description

Understanding the Properties of Matter: 2nd Edition is an entertaining and innovative textbook that fulfills the needs of undergraduate physicists and physics teachers alike. This book introduces the properties of matter, taking a unique phenomenological approach. After an overview of basic ideas and a reminder of the importance of measurement, the book considers gases, solids, liquids and phase changes. Students benefit from extensive examples and end-of-chapter exercises, and this new edition has an entire chapter of extended exercises. This approach allows both students and teachers to rediscover a fascination for the subjects that have excited some of the greatest physicists of our age.
