BOOKS I WROTE

A Turtle Is Suspended From the Ceiling & 964 Other Encounters with Physics
Affectionately(?) known by students as The Schwanbook, this 210 book contains a wide range of interesting practice problems, organized by topic and by type (practice, advanced, & conceptual.)

Exploring Astronomy
The 130-page workbook/interactive notebook I wrote for my Astronomy elective.

The Conceptual Physics Workbook
This 200 page book consists of guided notes, lab activities, and practice problems for a conceptual physics class that involves very little mathematics.
