Fear of Physics

Fear of Physics by Jeffry V. Mallow and Helge Kastrup transforms the intimidating world of physics into an inviting, clear exploration for learners everywhere. If equations and abstract concepts have kept you at a distance, this book is written to bridge that gap—without sacrificing rigor or accuracy.

Start with approachable explanations that strip away jargon and focus on core principles. The authors use everyday examples and vivid analogies to make topics like motion, energy, electricity, and waves both memorable and practical. Carefully chosen diagrams and step-by-step reasoning guide readers from basic intuition to a confident grasp of more challenging ideas—ideal for college students, adult learners, and professionals refreshing their fundamentals.

Beyond clarity, the book builds problem-solving confidence. Short, focused problems encourage application of concepts rather than rote calculation, helping readers internalize how physics explains real-world phenomena from smartphones to weather patterns. Whether you’re studying in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or elsewhere, the global examples and universal explanations make the material relevant and accessible.

This edition appeals to instructors seeking a student-friendly text and to independent learners who want a single resource that demystifies science. With its balanced pace and human-centered tone, Fear of Physics empowers readers to move past anxiety and toward curiosity.
