Hey I purchased this book and was wondering how hard do you think this book is?

Irodov is, in my opinion, one of the best problem books in general physics.
Solving problems from Irodov, will give you a really good conceptual understanding of the subject and will do wonders to your confidence.
Be warned, some of the problems are *Really* hard and require a lot of thought. But that shouldn't put you off from attempting the problems from the book.

I agree. And don't give up from the rest of the problems if you get blown away from the first one or two... :)
 
Where can I find Irodov's book on the net? (It's unavailable at amazon.com)
 

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
