Book for 1st year college concepts?

[divexo]

Hi,

I haven't done physics since year 10, and will be doing physics next year at college, it is involving the concepts i will list below, with a emphasis on the physics of the human body with them, so if it involves this it'll be great.

I want a book that has fairly simple explanations, is rather fun to read, and easy to follow hoping with diagrams and an interesting approach.
Perhaps i need a couple of books? One would be the best, but i can't hope for that.

Mechanics: in the context of human and animal movement (introduction to Newton's laws of motion, energy transfer and transformation).
Waves: the basis of modern physics including lasers;
Fluids: blood flow, respiration (pressure in fluids, fluid flow, viscosity);
Thermal physics: energy balance of living organisms (thermal energy, temperature, heating processes, first law of thermodynamics);
Electricity and magnetism: bioelectricity, nerve conduction, electrical safety (forces between electric charges, electric circuits, resistance, capacitance, magnetic forces);
Atomic physics and lasers: fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy (structure of the atom, photons, spectroscopy, interaction of light with matter);
Radiation: radiation safety, therapeutic uses of radiation (the atomic nucleus, isotopes, nuclear decay and radiation, physical and biological half-life, ionising radiation); and
Imaging: modern biomedical imaging (X-rays, CT-scans and angiography, ultrasound imaging, positron emission tomography).

Thanks

The color of your post is obnoxious at best, please change it.

In regards to your topic, your run-of-the-mill physics book should do it for these subjects. Usually you won't be required to have previous knowledge of physics really, so you should be fine without doing anything special. If you're worried, just read your textbook before you take the class. I could recommend Knight's Physics For Scientists and Engineers as I think that's a pretty good book.

ok sorry changed.

thanksss, shall look into that book then.

Based on your topics, I'd recommend "Elementary Biophysics" by P K Srivastava.

Another possibility is "Physics fo the Human Body", by Richard McCall.

Thanks so much

But, I'm looking locally at the moment and it appears i can't find those authors. I may have to go international but i can find with similar names
- Physics of the Human Body (Irving Herman)
- Biophysics: An Introduction (Roland Glaser)
- Biophysics: An Introduction By Rodney Cotterill

Let me know how these are in regards to what I'm looking for, cheers.
