Actually, Google Books doesn't let you view many books for free (based on my experience finding academic books related to my EE). For example, Nick Cullather's Secret History on Guatemala only lets the reader preview a few pages and not the whole book. For students who would like to read the entire work or journal, b-ok.org (for books), Library Genesis (for books and journals) or Sci-Hub (for journals) would be your best bet.

>this solar electricity hand book which costs a few hundred dollars.

According to Amazon it costs $19.99 USD........that's not a few hundred dollars...

I know the university I'm headed to is using University Physics. I have a PDF of it, if you want it. It basically covers all the fundamental physics using calculus, so I would definitely regard it as a post-IB book.

I've heard many say that Resnick and Halliday's books are the best out there. They are perhaps a bit old, but seem to be the favorite among undergraduates.

If you want a more intuitive understanding of physics, then The Feynman Lectures are a must. He covers some material that requires knowledge of undergraduate level physics, but a lot of it I've found to still be enlightening. The intuition you'll get is invaluable.

Thanks man. I'll be honest I was originally supposed to do HL maths so I didn't really revise much/ make notes for studies. I found this book somewhat useful though, I'd highly recommend it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mathematical-Studies-Standard-Diploma-Preparation/dp/110763184X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=maths+studies+ib+revision+guide&qid=1562416399&s=gateway&sprefix=maths+studies+&sr=8-1

i've been using the uni jetstream 0.5mm for the last year and a bit - lightweight, rubberized grip, good ink flow, and best of all, thin enough that you can cram all of your short-answer responses on however many lines they give you. i've found that gel pens smudge way too easily and this is a ballpoint, eliminating that issue. i believe it's got an 0.7 option if 0.5 is too thin for you, too.

As in financial scamming? Yeah, that's low-effort in my eyes. Sorry OP, but you're going to need a better idea. If you can find a copy of [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Ideas-Really-Need-Series/dp/1847240089) book, take a look. You might find something interesting.

The one by Ian Dorton is brilliant. Covers the entire syllabus, is quite interesting.

Is this for the 2nd section? Cuz for the 1st part there seems to be a relevant textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Nature-Introduction-Philosophy/dp/0534624782

I feel like having a textbook is easier for beginner to pick up the concepts. Reading original papers is very hard(most were very academic and assumed a high level of philosophy jargon and knowledge). If the same mode of teaching were to used in my mathematics or economics course, I don't think I can master the ideas thoroughly enough. Somehow they have the balls to do it this way with philosophy.

We were using a text book by Ibrahim Wazir during our classes, but Haese was a primary source as well. Both are very good books.

EDIT: Sorry that is an outdated version we were using this one (2012 edition)

u/hamish_macdonald · 1 pointr/IBO

I used an earlier version of this book. It's really concise, and contains a stripped-down version of basically everything you need to know. For the parts you don't understand, there's always the internet. Good luck!

I haven't personally had issues with time management, but after talking to some of my classmates that have and looking through the internet it seems that Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen is a good one as it seems to appear on multiple top lists for everyday productivity.

By the way, found sort of official course books for the IB, created by Oxford in collaboration with the IB. Here's the physics course book http://www.amazon.com/IB-Physics-Course-Book-Edition/dp/0198392133.

So these Oxford IB course books can be considered the 'right' one.

I'm glad these exist. No doubts it'll be the right content (It's Oxford, in collaboration with IB¡) for students pursuing the best knowledge in year 11 and 12.

> our Biology

I do Biology SL and have the Oxford IB Study Guide (2014 edition). I've found it extremely useful: all of the questions in the exams could be answered using this book. Are we talking about different books?

u/crashingIb · 1 pointr/IBO

After looking and asking around a lot i found some that were generally agreed upon.

For Physics HL , the Cambridge book (Tsokos) was recommended.

For ITGS i could only find a textbook and a solutions book here

For Maths the Pearson or Cambridge are recommended.

English and French matter on you rather than the book but my school uses the oxford books for both.

I have less for that because that time period is taught by another teacher. I like this series, though, and it usually has a good historiography overview.

Off the top of my head, I’d read George Kennan’s long telegram and Walter Lippman’s (sp?) response
