What a relief from the Salters Horners A-level "textbook"!
Thank God I found this textbook. Our school is one of the worringly large number that has chosen the appalling "Salters Horners Advanced Physics" course, whose textbook is pages and pages of confusing waffle and pointless colour photos. It's hardly recognisable as a Physics course, filled with superfluous "in context" real-life applications and poorly worded explanations of the few bits of Physics it contains. This textbook is the complete opposite: completely comprehensive, mathematically rigorous, and with lucid, concise explanations of every A-level Physics concept from the ground up - including the many that have disappeared from most syllabi recently. Fantastic!

Fantastic
This was my A-level text-book, (2nd Edition) I used it all the way through my university career, BSc, MSc and PhD. Now I'm teaching introductory physics at a Canadian university and I refer to this all the time in preparing my classes and setting assignments - it's much better than the text book we assigned to the students. I love it, it's straightforward, clear and easy to read, doesn't treat the reader as an idiot but neither does it try to dress things up as more complicated than they need to be for the level.
I would recommend it to anyone studying physics up to and into university level.

A work of art - physics is beautiful
When I first read this book, without much previous knowledge of the subject, I was stunned by how complex and seemingly impossible the content was. But as it was explained and I set aside time to work through it I realised that this book is more than just a text book. It goes miles past the contraints of the A Level sylibus but makes the subject seem exciting and interesting. Everyting is proven, everything is explained and nothing is just assumed. Thats what makes this book so utterly brilliant, it is opeing a world of physics, its not just for passing exams. Once past the terrifying 'i have no idea whats going on' stages this book fills every reader with confidence that they are really LEARNING and not just remembering.
My motto always has been - "if Roger Muncaster is for me, who can be against me?"
