505			_a"This book deals with physics, its practical uses and the social issues it raises. You are most likely to find the book useful if you are following a GCSE course in physics, or taking physics as part of a GSCE Co-ordinated Science Course.
505			_aTo help you find things more easily, the book is written in two-page units. Each unit deals with a different topic. _tUse the contents page if you want to see the main headings _tUse the index at the back if you want to look up information about one particular thing. The index is alphabetical. _tUse the questions to test yourself. The questions at the end of each unit cover the main ideas. The questions at the back of the book are from GCSE examination papers. _tUse the reference section near the back of the book if you need to look up the following: units of measurement; electrical symbols; how to revise; revision checklist; important equations; answers to questions.
505			_aPhysics is an important subject in today's world. It doesn't just happen in laboratories. It's all around you, in fairgrounds, fields, farms and factories. You'll find physics everywhere." (Introduction, p. 3)
