I found that it was quite easy to follow and work through. One thing I would add to the book though is a list of all the equations and SI units either at the front or the back of the book. Kind of like you would have on an exam paper. If you're just buying the book I would write down the equations and SI units on a separate piece of paper or document as you go along. This will make it easier for you in the long run by making it clearer and I think it will give you a better understanding. Review: The best simple guide to physics I've seen - I strongly recommend this publication if you are looking for a simple guide to physics, wanting to refresh long forgotten knowledge or looking for a revision guide. The book is made up of 23 chapters related to individual subjects and gradually builds knowledge throughout. The individual chapters are relatively easy to understand and the basic concepts and the mathematics well explained. If only such a clearly written text was available when I was at school! The author is American and so not written to specifically equate to a UK educational standard. The level by UK educational standards is probably higher than GCSE but not quite up to full A-level, in my opinion. Contrary to some views expressed I found the maths pretty straightforward to understand. Obviously it has to assume some ability in maths, but a sound GCSE knowledge of algebra and the ability to manipulate simple equations should see the reader through. A very good basic guide. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0471134473 | | Best Sellers Rank | 436,245 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 283 in Astronomy & Cosmology Education 284 in Physics Books for Young Adults 1,638 in Popular Science Physics | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,122) | | Dimensions | 18.73 x 1.85 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 9780471134473 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0471134473 | | Item weight | 567 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | 29 Mar. 1996 | | Publisher | Wiley | ## Images ![Basic Physics: A Self-Teaching Guide, 2nd Edition (Wiley Self-Teaching Guides) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WsDodSLSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wish it had Equations *by H***C on 22 September 2020* It's a good book if you're looking to learn or refresh yourself on basic physics.

My heart sunk when the book arrived, however i should not have been worried. The book is written and set out in an easy to read and absorb style. Each point is no more thanhalf a page long, with a question at the end of each point. There are also self tests at the end of each chapter. Unlike other similar books I have not wanted to shut the book after the first few sentences and I actually think i am beginning to grasp what i used to think were concepts that were beyond me. ## Frequently Bought Together - Basic Physics: A Self-Teaching Guide, 2nd Edition - Chemistry: Concepts and Problems : A Self-Teaching Guide - Chemistry Made Easy: An Illustrated Study Guide For Students To Easily Learn Chemistry --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49344574-basic-physics-a-self-teaching-guide-2nd-edition-wiley-self](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49344574-basic-physics-a-self-teaching-guide-2nd-edition-wiley-self) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
