AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between two editions of Lewis Carroll Epstein's "Thinking Physics." Participants suggest that the titles refer to different editions, specifically the second and third editions, and imply that the core content may not differ significantly. To verify the distinctions, it is recommended to use the "Look Inside" feature on Amazon to compare the Tables of Contents of both editions.

Hello! Who can say me what’s the difference between Lewis Carroll Epstein’s

Thinking Physics, Practical Lessons in Critical Thinking

and

Thinking Physics, Understandable Practical Reality

Is that difference just between 2nd and 3d editions and they have no difference in general?

Thanks!

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
