Product Description:
MODERN PHYSICS FOR SCIENTIST AND ENGINEERS, Second Edition incorporates a contemporary and comprehensive approach to physics with a strong emphasis on applications. The author's approach incorporates a flexible organization, numerous examples and problems (over 700), and brings the study of modern physics alive by alluding to many current topics in physics, for example, high temperature superconductors, neutrino mass, age of the universe, gamma ray bursts, holography, and nuclear fusion.

- Poorly bound history book
The history is nice, but that's something the professor should be interjecting. Also, this book is poorly manufactured. I bought it brand new and several pages had fallen out of the binding just weeks after purchase.
Rating:
- too much history, not enough concepts
The authors spend far too much space devoted to history and they spend far too little time considering student conceptual understanding. There are better books on the history of modern physics and there are much better texts when dealing with modern physics concepts.
Downside
1) The problem and question sets leave much to be desired. I am hard pressed to find any question/problem that tests a student's conceptual understanding. Virtually all of the questions can be answered ... Read More
Rating: - Won't be using it again...
I just finished a Modern Physics course using this book and was not happy with it at all. The exposition is less than clear in many places and the problem set is sub-standard in my opinion. Some sections were so poor that I found myself searching through other texts for a better treatment of the subject. That was when I stumbled upon a 1981 version of "Concepts of Modern Physics" by Arthur Beiser. To my dismay, Thornton's text seems to be a cheap knock-off of this much older (and better) text. Or, perhaps ... Read More

- New 2005 3rd edition is excellent for self-study
I'm about to finish the on-line course taught by one of the authors, Steve Thornton (University of Virginia).
The book lends itself to self-study and the 3rd edition is partly the result of Dr. Thornton's teaching an on-line course for several summers. Many of the students are traditional physics and engineering undergraduates, but many others are career high school physics teachers that give Dr. Thornton feedback from a teacher's viewpoint.

Rating: - great book if you already know the material
Andy Rex, one of the text's authors, was in my Physics Department when I attended the University of Puget Sound, so I naturally used this textbook when I took Modern Physics (taught by another professor). The book is not good for students who are in the process of learning the material it presents for the first time. It is history- and derivation-heavy, but nearly devoid of analysis and ignores "the big picture." It was a wonderful reference when I was doing graduate work -- I already had a very solid background ... Read More
