General Physics.  Not too catchy.  We had a better title originally but we 
got   flack from some profs.  Our original book was called Life Science 
Physics   because it had lots of applications to biology.  It was designed to 
appeal to   premeds etc.  Professors with students in the course who were not 
in the   biological sciences objected, and we changed the name to Physics.  
(Creative   title, isn't it?)   When we put out a clone with more math, we 
called it   General Physics.  The original -- Physics -- is not in print, and 
will not be   until I write a new edition, which may or may not ever happen.  
General   Physics is in circulation.
