Motion Mountain: The Free Physics Textbook
Sometimes I just don't know a unique find from a bogus offer. However, I read a review of this text that was intriguing, so I thought I'd pass on the information and let you decide. The critic likened it to a work of art. . .
At any rate, a free source designed for teachers, students, and the physics curious deserves a look, right?



I had heard about a movement to create an open source textbook. An open source textbook is one written by teachers who teach the subject. What a novel idea! Teachers divide up the tasks and all contribute collaboratively. Rather than a large publishing company, who's bottom line is $, deciding what teachers teach. The teachers decide and write the textbook exactly how they want it. It can also be updated within months instead of in years. Great idea!
