About the Author

David Halliday is associated with the University of Pittsburgh as Professor Emeritus. He and Robert Resnick collaborated on Physics for Students of Science and Engineering in 1960 and then on Fundamentals of Physics. The book is currently in its eighth edition and has since been handed over from Halliday and Resnick to Jearl Walker. Halliday is retired and resides in Seattle.
Robert Resnick is professor emeritus at Rensselaer.He along with his co-author David Halliday, revolutionized physics education with their now famous textbook on general physics which is still one of the most highly regarded texts in the field today.

Jearl Walker, professor of physics at Cleveland State University has received his BS in physics from MIT in 1967 and his PhD in physics from University of Maryland in 1973. The Fying Circus of Physics written by him was published 30 years ago. The book has been translated into at least 10 languages, and is still being sold worldwide. He toured his Flying Circus talk throughout the U.S. and Canada for 16 years and introduced physics stunts such as the bed-of-nails demonstration and the walking-on-hot-coals demonstration to countless physics teachers. The physics teachers, in-turn proceeded to hurt themselves when they repeated the stunts in their own classrooms. Such talks led to his PBS television show Kinetic Karnival which ran nationally for years and which earned an Emmy.
