This lecture by Richard Muller, is an excellent introduction to his course on Physics or "Physics for Future Presidents", and is accessible via the web. I have viewed all the web lectures in this series and have learned a great deal about physics and how it relates to our lives...indeed, because of advances in computer technology, I have been able to access his course while teaching in China. However, attempting to get his book for the course in this country, is another matter...Richard Muller, has said, his book has been translated in Chinese, but I'm still looking for it...even if you are not able to get his book, participate and watch his program on Physics...it's a real treat!
