Hi all folks. Do any know a good book that describes physics with pictures? I want a standard book, not university, but for the general people. Because now I prepare before I enter the university if I pass the math and physics exam from high school.

Check out some local bookstores. You should be able to find something in their science section.
 
Don't assume that a college-level text is too hard for you. Most college freshmen are not that bright :-)

Here is a good, free, algebra-based text with lots of pictures:
