Schaum's Easy Outline Applied Physics
Boiled-down essentials of the top-selling Schaum's Outline series, for the student with limited time
What could be better than the bestselling Schaum's Outline series? For students looking for a quick nuts-and-bolts overview, it would have to be Schaum's Easy Outline series. Every book in this series is a pared-down, simplified, and tightly focused version of its bigger predecessor. With an emphasis on clarity and brevity, each new title features a streamlined and updated format and the absolute essence of the subject, presented in a concise and readily understandable form.

Arthur Beiser studied physics and received his PhD from New York University , where he later became an associate professor of physics. He was a Senior Research Scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University, where he focused on cosmic rays and magnetohydrodynamics in geophysics and astrophysics . He worked both theoretically and experimentally, taking part in expeditions to the observation of cosmic rays and magnetic phenomena to Alaska and the Pacific.
He is a Fellow of the Explorers Club and chaired the Explorers Club's Committee on Space Exploration .
Beiser is known for numerous physics textbooks, but also published books on geology and sailing (he is a passionate sailor who sailed around Cape Horn and twice crossed the Atlantic in his sailing boat). His wife Germaine Beiser is also an author and co-author of physics textbooks.

A quick refresher on high school level physics. Wish it delved more in quantum physics.
