This book is one in the series of physics background books

intended primarily for use with the Nuffield O-Level Physics

Project. The team of writers who have contributed to the series

were all associated with the Project. It was always intended

that the Nuffield teachers' material should be accompanied by

background books for pupils to read, and a number of such

books have been produced under the Foundation's auspices.

This series of books is intended as a supplement to the Nuffield

pupils' material: not books giving the answers to all the inves-

tigations pupils will be doing in the laboratory, certainly not

textbooks in the conventional sense, but books that are easy to

read and copiously illustrated, and which show how the prin-

ciples studied in school are applied in the outside world.

The books are such that they can be used with a conventional

as well as a modern physics programme. Whatever course

pupils are following, they often need straightforward books to

help clarify their knowledge, sometimes to help them catch up

on a topic they have missed in their school course. It is hoped

that this series will meet that need.

This background series will provide suitable material for

reading in homework. This volume is divided into sections, and

a teacher may feel that one chapter at a time is suitable for

each homework session for which he wishes to use the book.

This particular book is written as a background book for the

Forces and Pressures sections in Years I and II. It will also be

relevant in Years III, IV and V, but has been kept simple

throughout. It is hoped that the examples. given, which range

rather beyond the Nuffield course, will help pupils to appre-

ciate the importance of pressure in everyday life. Emphasis is

placed on the practical applications of pressure and pressure

differences. This is essentially a book for pupils to browse in,

taking up points which capture their interest and possibly pur-

suing them further.
