Abstract
(1) This book is arranged in a somewhat unusual manner. It is divided into sections instead of the customary chapters, though more than one section is taken to deal with each branch of physics. Exercises alternate with the text in each section. They are printed in heavier type than the text, which is unfortunate as one is accustomed to associate heavy type with important information. The contents of the present volume include sections on gases, the atmosphere and atmospheric pressure, expansion of gases, liquids and solids, elementary mechanics, heat and elementary bio-(2) These three booklets describe experiments in those branches of physics which have an impor-tant bearing on everyday life.
