<p>Hi, im currently in 12th grade, never took physics during highschool, focused on (chemistry and bio), I was looking for a good book for an absolute beginner, I came across these two, which one do you think is better? </p>

<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Basic Physics: A Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self-Teaching Guides) (9780471134473): Karl F. Kuhn: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Physics-Self-Teaching-Guide-Guides/dp/0471134473/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331352114&sr=8-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Physics-Self-Teaching-Guide-Guides/dp/0471134473/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331352114&sr=8-1)</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Homework Helpers: Physics, Revised Edition (9781601632098): Greg Curran: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Homework-Helpers-Physics-Greg-Curran/dp/1601632096/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Homework-Helpers-Physics-Greg-Curran/dp/1601632096/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)</p>

<p>If you are going to try and learn physics by yourself, you might as well just buy a real physics textbook like this one: [Amazon.com:</a> Physics: Principles with Applications (9780130606204): Douglas C. Giancoli: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Physics-Principles-Applications-Douglas-Giancoli/dp/0130606200/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331490453&sr=1-1-spell]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Physics-Principles-Applications-Douglas-Giancoli/dp/0130606200/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331490453&sr=1-1-spell)</p>

<p>The one’s you listed look like baby physics books compared to Giancoli.</p>
