WileyPLUS is a complete courseware solution that includes an interactive eTextbook, videos, tutorials, adaptive practice, assignments, and assessments. Developed using modern learning science principles, WileyPLUS provides students with affordable, efficient learning experiences that promote practice, preparation, and engagement.   How Things Work provides an accessible introduction to physics for the non-science student. Like the previous editions it employs everyday objects, with which students are familiar, in case studies to explain the most essential physics concepts of day-to-day life. Lou Bloomfield takes seemingly highly complex devices and strips away the complexity to show how at their heart are simple physics ideas. Once these concepts are understood, they can be used to understand the behavior of many devices encountered in everyday life. The sixth edition uses the power of WileyPLUS Learning Space with Orion to give students the opportunity to actively practice the physics concepts presented in this edition.
