Are you or your offspring struggling to pass the AP Physics B exam? Is your college physics class giving you a headache? Or do you wish you understood how the world around you really works? Frankly it's been a while since I've taken a physics course. That's why I gave our newest release, Head First Physics, to our high school intern, Dylan Field, to check out.

Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, "Head First Physics" uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. So read on to find out what Dylan had to say about our new guide to algebra-based mechanics and practical physics.

"For weeks now I've been stressing about how I'll prepare for the SAT II Physics Subject Test, but after looking through O'Reilly's new release Head First Physics I think I can put my worries to rest," notes Dylan. "Unlike all the other physics books out there, Head First Physics is anything but a dry experience. It's full of entertaining graphics and ways to think about the subject, making it one of the few textbooks I've seen that is an interesting read. If you're taking a beginning physics course, need to study for the AP Exam / Subject Test, or are just interested in the subject, I can't recommend Head First Physics enough."

Also, in other Dylan news, an interview that he did this summer with the educational magazine Edutopia has just been published. In it, he talks about technology in the classroom, safety on the Internet, netiquette and technology's future. Check it out here!
