Conceptual Physics: The High School Physics Program
by Paul G. HewittThis book guides the reader to see physics as the rules of the physical world, and to teach how the equations of physics reveal the connections in nature, focusing on the physics concepts themselves, their similarities, and their differences. This book contains analogies and clear explanations, more qualitative questions than algebraic problems to discover physics as fascinating, to provide a solid science foundation, and to see that knowledge of physics is important to overall education.
Conceptual Physics: The High School Physics Program
by Paul G. HewittThis seventh edition of the popular and exceptionally well written physics concept text with minimal mathematics contains new material sprinkled throughout, such as a treatment of measurements of the earth, moon, and sun by the early Greeks, capacitors, and more on rainbows. Individual sections have been clarified and updated. Problem sets are now at the end of most chapters. Most problems involve simple calculations that require minimal algebra skills. The text is profusely illustrated in full color with many helpful diagrams and down-to-earth examples. Annotation C. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Conceptualization and Treatment Planning for Effective Helping
by Barbara F. Okun Karen SuyemotoOkun and Suyemoto's book addresses theory and skills for continuing beyond the first few sessions with a client, thus helping students take the "next step" from a basic understanding of interviewing skills to a conceptualization of the counseling process. CONCEPTUALIZATION AND TREATMENT PLANNING FOR EFFECTIVE HELPING teaches students how to integrate the many pieces of the helping process (e. g. , theoretical orientation, the person of the therapist, the person of the client, the contexts that affect the clients, the therapy relationship, the context of the therapy, the skills and resources available, etc. ) into a conceptualization that will foster efficacy in creating positive change.
