โฆ Synopsis
A reissue of a 3-volume set of classic books, newly edited and typeset to be published in the Biological Physics Series. Intended for undergraduate courses in biophysics, biological physics, physiology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering, these books are introductions to mechanics, statistical physics, and electricty and magnetism with examples and problems from the medical and biological sciences. The books can be used as supplements to standard introductory physics courses, and as texts for medical schools, medical physics courses, and biology departments. The three volumes combined present all the major topics in physics.Originally published in 1974 from the authors's typescript, these reissues will be edited, corrected, typeset, the art redrawn, and an index added. These books are being reissued by Springer in the Biological Physics Series in response to frequent requests to provide these texts to satisfy the growing need among students and practitioners in the medical and biological sciences with a working knowledge of the physical sciences.

Asimov patiently and cogently wends his way from Classical physical theory to Modern theory, without, it seems, breaking a sweat. This is, as Asimov points out, a book largely about the collapse of Newtonian physics. I particularly liked his chapters on light, color, magnetism and electrostatics.
