College Physics: Explore and Apply encourages you to take an active role in the learning process, to practice scientific skills such as observing, analyzing, and testing, and to build scientific habits of mind. The authors believe students best learn physics by doing physics.

The 2nd Edition offers an updated, pedagogically driven design and streamlines content to help you focus and use the text effectively. By pursuing the process of science, you can establish foundations for conceptual understanding, develop reasoning and problem-solving skills, and apply knowledge to complex situations.
