This edition, co-authored by Roger Freedman and Hugh Young, reflects the findings of current research in physics education, while adhering to the highest standards of rigorous, yet accessible content coverage, and pedagogical effectiveness. Goals of this revision include helping students develop physical intuition, and building strong problem-solving skills. Two decades of research on the conceptual pitfalls that commonly plague beginning physics students are reflected in this work. A key focus of the Ninth Edition is to discuss the correct way to analyze a situation or solve a problem, as well as why the wrong way (which may occur to a student first) is indeed wrong.

This autobiography details Marshall's career, from his days as a young law student writing about the problems of the oil industry for a prestigious law review, to his oil regulation days under FDR, to his work in some of the country's most important oil companies. Marshall's entertaining and detailed memories bring to life many of the most famous public and private characters of oil history. Unlike any work before it, Done in Oil recounts the history of the oil industry from the perspective of an individual who has known it, quite literally, inside-out, both as practitioner and as analyst. From the curious to the student of oil, business, and government history, readers will come away from this book having learned something new and significant about the oil industry and its culture.
