There is a nice www site for a new physics textbook at: http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/walker2 . I am using it in class for Chap 27-28 review. You might want to use it to help study for the exam. There are a couple of details that are different from how we learned the physics, but it is a nice site.
