All volumes of this free physics textbook are written to entertain pupils, students, teachers and everybody who is curious about the world of motion. These five volumes present established physics. (An additional volume, a research text, is in work.) Here are the tables of contents.

Get volume I FALL, FLOW AND HEAT 1 Why should we care about motion? 15 2 From motion measurement to continuity 33 3 How to describe motion – kinematics 72 4 From objects and images to conservation 90 5 From the rotation of the Earth to the relativity of motion 123 6 Motion due to gravitation 151 7 Classical mechanics and the predictability of motion 195 8 Measuring change with action 213 9 Motion and symmetry 229 10 Simple motions of extended bodies – oscillations and waves 248 11 Do extended bodies exist? – Limits of continuity 283 12 Fluids and their motion 301 13 From heat to time-invariance 319 14 Self-organization and chaos - the simplicity of complexity 348 15 From the limitations of physics to the limits of motion 366 Appendix A Notation and conventions 372 Appendix B Units, measurements and constants 383 Appendix C Sources of information of motion 398
