Search for College Physics Handheld Book - Suggestions Needed

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks recommendations for a portable book on College Physics, focusing on kinematics, dynamics, and Newton's laws, to complement their existing textbook. They emphasize the need for a smaller, handheld option for easy reading during lectures. Suggestions include a compact edition of a classic physics text, which, despite being lengthy at 1324 pages, may be manageable in separate volumes. Additional recommendations include "Vibrations and Waves" by French and the well-regarded Kleppner & Kolenkow book, noted for its smaller format.

Hi,
I'm looking for a book that's relative to College Physics, specifically kinematics, dynamics, Newton's laws etc. Something that is small and I can read in and out of lecture, basically something portable.
My textbook is okay but it would be nice if I can read a handheld book about certain subjects. Of course, this will not be a replacement for my textbook,

any suggestions on what I should look for?

thanks in advanced

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!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
