Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union.The Nortons soon expanded their program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By mid-century, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts— were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W. W. Norton & Company stands as the largest and oldest publishing house owned wholly by its employees.

The book and its learning package emerged from a collaborative effort that began more than six years ago. We adapted the core of Ohanian’s earlier Physics (Second Edition, 1989) and combined it with relevant findings from recent physics education research on how students learn most effectively. The result is a text that presents a clear, uncluttered explication of the core concepts in physics, well suited to the needs of undergraduate engineering and science students. Organization of Topics The 41 chapters of the book cover the essential topics of introductory physics: mechan- ics of particles, rigid bodies, and fluids; oscillations, wave motion, heat and thermo- dynamics; electricity and magnetism; optics; special relativity; and atomic and subatomic physics. Our arrangement and treatment of topics are fairly traditional with a few delib- erate distinctions. We introduce the principle of superposition of forces early in Chapter 5 on Newton’s laws of motion, and we give the students considerable expo- sure to the vector superposition of gravitational forces in Chapter 9. This leaves the students well prepared for the later application of vector superposition of electric and magnetic forces generated by charge or current distributions. We place gravitation in Chapter 9 immediately after the chapters on work and energy, because we regard gravitation as a direct application of these concepts (instructors who prefer to post- pone gravitation can, of course, do so). We introduce forces on stationary electric charges in a detailed, complete exposition in Chapter 22, before proceeding to the less obvious concept of the electric field in Chapter 23. We start the study of magnetism in Chapter 29 with the force on a moving charged particle near a current, instead of the more common practice of starting with a postulate about the magnetic field in the abstract. With our approach, the observed magnetic forces on moving charges lead naturally to the magnetic field, and this progression from magnetic force to Physics_Vol-2-FM.qxd 07/02/2007 7:44 AM Page xiii PMAC-291 27B:GK023:Chapters:FM-Vol2: TechBooks [PPG -QUARK]
