This book by Professor David R. Heskett, University of Rhode Island Department of Physics, is intended to accompany a one-semester general education college science course. It is largely conceptual with some simple quantitative and semi-quantitative content. No previous physics background is necessary. Some math is needed - simple algebra and arithmetic. Questions and exercises are embedded throughout the text. Also included are homework questions and exercises for each chapter, most with answers. The book may also be appropriate for a high school physics course. This site includes the full textbook as a PDF and accompanying video clips. DOI: https://doi.org/10.23860/physicsofsports
