THE book for Undergraduate-level physics
By Twilight Dweller
Clear, well-motivated, concise and focused. This is a masterpiece for sophomore-level physics.
Each topic starts off with a clear motivation and slowly leads the reader deeper into the topic through a logical path with just the right amount of mathematics. There are no gratuitous paragraphs or missing links, making the learning experience a focused one. A true testimony of economy of thought.
This book is fundamentally different from other undergraduate physics texts that dominate the market like 'Resnick and Halliday, Sears and Zemansky, Serway, Tipler, etc.' in that all topics are integrated into a coherent whole. A student does not simply read a chapter in Mechanics and forget about it when he advances into Electrodynamics. The later chapters make use of the foundational knowledge acquired in the prior chapters and builds upon it. This is unlike many other physics books that seem more like a disparate set of topics strung together with no apparent link.
No unnecessary examples are given and where they are given, they serve to illustrate and reinforce understanding of certain principles or ideas. This is also in contrast to other physics texts that profess a lorge number of unnecessary worked examples that serve to drive in the same point. There are no fanciful coloured diagrams or glossy pages. This book is serious about educating the reader in physics and it goes straight to the point.
A note however to beginning physics majors: this book makes unscrupulous use of calculus. But once a student has mastered undergraduate-level calculus, the learning experience is a rich one and the profits that he can reap from this book are immense!

A vigorous Physics Treatise without glossy pictures
By A Customer
As Physics should be! Alonso and Finn provide a vigorous treatise of the subject with a great deal of calculus. That is not necesarily bad as--contrary to the belief of fresher students--physics is about mathematics. Alonso and Finn's book has certainly made it into the category of Classical Physics Textbooks as much as the "Therory of Relativity" by Albert Einstein. It is ashaming that in the US the book did not seem to get the right credentials, but given the many translations of Alonso and Finn's book into European languages, this side of the Alantic the book has had a very positive resonance indeed. And just take a look at the very extensive list of reviewers of the book: This list tells the potential buyer of the book that really great minds have been working on it: Professor Tomas Bohr (Copenhague, Denmark), the late Professor Karl Luchner (Ludwig Maximillian University Munich, Germany), Professor William Poon (University of Edinburgh, Scotland) etc. etc.
All in all a very satisfiying book for first year physics students and beyond.

The Ghost of Physics Past
By Peltio
I bought this book years ago, after having read the three volume edition upon which this single tome is based. Sadly, I have to say that this is only the ghost of what those precious little books were.
On the plus side I appreciated the effort placed in rearranging the material, by letting 'modern physics' just be 'physics'. Perhaps the rearrangement has gone a little too far in electromagnetism, where electrostatics and magnetostatics have each been split in several chapters (interactions, currents, fields), forcing the student to flip back and forward too many times, but all in all it gives a fresher view of the discipline.
But cutting the number of pages to accommodate three volumes in one has had its toll on the book. It has become superficial, basing the explanations by focusing on the most elementary examples only. Only a fraction of the interesting derivations of key results has been retained. What's worse, a lot of stuff (especially from former tomes II and III) has been left out, and even the exercises (that in the three volume edition provided a lot of insight and were designed to guide the student in the -few, well... fewer- derivations of key results that did not find room in the chapters) have been trimmed down.
Following the new way Alonso and Finn (or their publisher?) have chosen to explain physics, let me say that it can be demonstrated that this edition is too watered down to be useful to the serious student. The detailed demonstration, though, goes beyond the scope of this review.
And it's not even left to the reader as an exercise.
If you can find the three volumes of the previous version of this physics course, grab them. *Those* were nice Physics Books (especially the first and third).
