„(...) halten den Leser bei der Stange. In didaktischer Hinsicht ist das Buch streng konsequent (...).“ „Die reichhaltigen Illustrationen sind wissenschaftlich wie künstlerisch hervorragend. Die Ausstattung des Buches ist auch in anderer Hinsicht sehr gut, die Übersetzung aus dem Amerikanischen sachkundig. Zusammenfassend: Tiplers “Physik„ ist ein ausgezeichnetes, zeitgemäßes, trotz seiner über 1500 Seiten kurzweiliges Lehrbuch der Physik. Studierende und Liebhaber der Physik werden ihre Freude daran haben.“ PHYSIKALISCHEN BLÄTTER
