本書是為國際文憑課程大學預科項目（IBDP）設計的物理輔導書，內容涵蓋了IB標準難度的8個主題和高難度的4個主題。
本書作者憑借多年IB課程教學經驗，重新思考、總結了這12個主題的內在關系，并以此為依據，將上述內容整合，并將全書分為八章，每章再下設若干節。每節內容由Terms、Essential ideas、Equations used、Worked example、Test yourself等5部分組成，其中Worked example提供了大量的例題及詳細解答，Test yourself中包含的習題有助于復習、鞏固物理概念與解題技巧。另外，在本書的最后提供了包括Test yourself的參考答案在內的3個附錄，以及6幅思維導圖，這些材料均可以幫助學生更方便、更有效地使用本書。
