Most widely held works by Paul G Hewitt

Conceptual physics by Paul G Hewitt ( Book )
245 editions published between 1971 and 2015 in 3 languages and held by 4,227 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Hewitt's text is famous for engaging readers with analogies and imagery from real-world situations that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics. With this strong foundation, readers are better equipped to understand the equations and formulas of physics, and motivated to explore the thought-provoking exercises and fun projects in each chapter

Conceptual physics : the high school physics program by Paul G Hewitt ( Book )
29 editions published between 1992 and 2012 in English and held by 409 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Presents an introduction to the basic principles of physics, discussing such topics as momentum, special relativity, magnetism, and nuclear fission

Thinking physics is Gedanken physics by Lewis C Epstein ( Book )
11 editions published between 1979 and 1981 in English and held by 233 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In this book, as in real life, the hook comes first. When the explanation follows, it goes to the central point fast. There is an easy way to explain anything -- it's just hard to find it. That is Epstein's Law, and this book demonstrates it" --Cover, p. 4

Conceptual integrated science by Paul G Hewitt ( Book )
18 editions published between 2006 and 2014 in English and held by 164 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This book will change the way you look at science. Written by best-selling author Paul Hewitt, Conceptual Integrated Science is more than a collection of facts-it's a guidebook for understanding the world around you. Using his successful "concepts first" method, accessible writing, and fun and informative illustrations, Hewitt and his team of science experts have crafted a text that focuses on unifying concepts and real-life examples across physics, chemistry, earth science, biology, and astronomy." "The book includes Hewitt's effective teaching method, straight-forward learning features, approachable style, and rigorous coverage. The result is a wide-ranging science text that is uniquely effective and motivational. Conceptual Integrated Science is accompanied by an unparalleled media package that combines Interactive Tutorials, Interactive Figures, and renowned demonstration videos to help you outside of class. Book jacket."--Jacket

Practicing physics by Paul G Hewitt ( Book )
8 editions published in 2006 in English and held by 150 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Touch this : conceptual physics for everyone by Paul G Hewitt ( Book )
3 editions published in 2002 in Danish and English and held by 114 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
For a variety of reasons, many adults, especially parents and teachers, feel inadequate in science, particularly in physics. This book is an attempt to strengthen your knowledge of physics, so you can better discuss the basic laws of science with anyone, giving them a strong foundation on which to build an understanding of science as a whole.-Back cover

Conceptos de física by Paul G Hewitt ( Book )
11 editions published between 1992 and 2004 in Spanish and held by 40 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Translation into Spanish of an introduction to general physics

Introductory physics : a problem-solving approach by Jesse David Wall ( Book )
1 edition published in 1997 in English and held by 40 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Conceptual physics for parents and teachers : mechanics : especially elementary school teachers, who, after parents, provide the learning foundation for children by Paul G Hewitt ( Book )
1 edition published in 1998 in English and held by 37 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Electric current by Paul G Hewitt ( Visual )
4 editions published in 1991 in English and held by 36 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
A discussion of voltage difference and electric current leads to the development of Ohm's law. The difference between direct and alternating current is explained. A car battery is used to demonstrate the difference between series and parallel circuits

Energy by Paul G Hewitt ( Visual )
4 editions published in 1991 in English and held by 36 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Potential and kinetic energy and the concept of work are illustrated with a variety of demonstrations, including a bouncing dart, a pendulum, and a simple pulley system. The law of conservation of energy is illuminated using everyday examples and a hand-cranked generator

Electrostatics by Paul G Hewitt ( Visual )
4 editions published between 1987 and 1991 in English and held by 36 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
A discussion of positive and negative charges and the electrical force leads to the statement of Coulomb's law. Various demonstrations of electrostatic charging help introduce the concepts of conservation of charge, charge polarization, and electric field strength. How lightning rods work is demonstrated and explained

Reflection and refraction by Paul G Hewitt ( Visual )
4 editions published in 1991 in English and held by 34 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
After an examination of the law of reflection, mirrored and diffuse reflection are compared. Refraction is demonstrated by passing a laser beam through a water tank. Some of the consequences of refraction are explored, such as rainbows and the way light appears when passing through a glass or water

Conceptual physics alive! ( Visual )
3 editions published between 1991 and 2002 in English and held by 33 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Light waves by Paul G Hewitt ( Visual )
4 editions published in 1991 in English and held by 33 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The interference of light waves is responsible for the colors of objects such as peacock feathers and soap bubbles. Both constructive and destructive interference are demonstrated with laser light. A discussion on polarization is illustrated using polarizing material

Magnetism and E & M induction by Paul G Hewitt ( Visual )
1 edition published in 1991 in English and held by 32 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
