"Physics" by Willis E. Tower, Thomas D. Cope, Charles H. Smith, and Charles M. Turton is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This textbook is designed to help students grasp the fundamental concepts and principles of physics by connecting them to everyday experiences and phenomena. It focuses on introducing physical concepts in a simplified manner, emphasizing understanding over complex mathematical formulations. At the start of the text, the authors emphasize the significance of physics as an exploration of familiar experiences, such as the behavior of objects, forces, and energy in the natural world. They highlight the importance of transforming casual knowledge into systematic understanding through careful observation and study. Key topics introduced include the three states of matter, fundamental definitions relevant to physics, and the distinction between common knowledge and scientific knowledge, laying the groundwork for a more in-depth exploration of physical principles in subsequent chapters.

Reading ease score: 73.3 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
