My Review
I don’t take Physics as a subject so I am unable to review the book. However, I know that this publisher is excellent! Check out my reviews on the other Heinemann Baccalaureate Books and take a look at the sample chapters!
You can download these two sample chapters from the book, provided by Heinemann.

This book is definately the best resource for SL Physics, because it explains concepts clearly and with helpful diagrams. It is also very detailed while explaining. Plus it has tons of revision questions! This book is a MUST if u are taking SL Physics!! Although when it comes to revising concepts for the exam the oxford study guide might be more helpful
I think this book is terrible, actually. It misses many of the concepts seen on Past Papers. As a result, although the writing is nice and content well laid out, as a preparation for exams it is quite poor. The sample IB questions they provide often have little to do with the commentary that precedes them. As a result, you often have difficulty completing these questions.
Not recommended.
