 Head First Physics:Sneak Preview!
Head First Physics is coming soon and we're giving you an exclusive taste of Chapter 4. Download the free excerpt from this page!
Communication is vital. You're already off to a good start in your journey to truly think like a physicist, but need to communicate your thoughts. In this chapter, you're going to take your first steps in two universal languages—graphs and equations—pictures you can use to speak a thousand words about experiments you do and the physics concepts you're learning. Seeing is believing.

Head First Triathlon:Do you have what it takes?
For a while now, we've been taking submissions for titles you think we should publish. But to put out great titles, we need great authors... and even though you don't know it, you may be just the Head First author we're looking for.

 For now, don't worry about if you really would write an entire book, or get stressed out about contracts or anything like that. Just work through the exercises on the blog. Even if you're not interested in authoring, you'll learn more about what makes Head First unique, and how we do it. So without further ado...

What makes people so crazy about Head First books? It's time for you to start figuring that out for yourself.
 Open up your favorite web browser, and surf on over to Amazon.com. Your job is to read 5 or 10 customer reviews for several Head First books, and then read the reviews for books that compete with the Head First series. What's different about the Head First reviews? Are there some common elements to the reviews for Head First books? Click "read more" to get to the first Triathlon post, and we'll tell you what you need to do...
