Excellent textbook
This was the recommended reading for my 1st year undergraduate astrophysics degree. Everything is clearly explained step by step. Equations are clearly highlighted. There are sample problems and solutions throughout, and each chapter ends with a series of questions, all have answers. Each chapter also begins with a real life physics situation, from going over the Niagra Falls in a barrel to Jimi Hendrix's electric guitar, which is quite fun. I defininately wouldn't recommend it for the general reader, as they might get put off by all the maths. But if you want to know the actual workings of the physical world, then this is definitely useful.

Awkward
This book refers to digrams with designations such as fig 26-3 b). You spend so much time trying to find where you are in the text, that you dont take the actual science in. I myself like short and sweet explaintions, to which I can build on later in the year before the exam.

i'm just reading this book because of my interest.
as i write above that i found that book in the market & i like it but i found many difficulties to solve the problem,if u give or send me the solutions manual i'll be thank full to u ,because i feel easyness while reading it waiting for ur reply, yours s truly, yasar.
