How can I find a copy of John McGehee's unpublished Physics text?

My instructor told me that this unpublished text would aid me greatly in my self-studying for Physics C E&M test, however, since it's unpublished, I have no idea where to find one and my instructor doesn't find one. Any suggestions?

Thanks

A little googling turned up this:http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/Physics_C_EM_Syllabus_4.pdf

And also this with some info about the teacher: http://search.collegeboard.com/servlet/counter?n=0&col=&qt=mcgehee&url=http%3A%2F%2Fapcentral.collegeboard.com%2Fapc%2Fpublic%2Frepository%2Fap06_Consultant_Policy_final.pdf

John McGehee, teacher of AP Physics at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School; Rolling Hills Estates, California

That gets you a little closer. You might be able to find an e-mail address or other contact info for him, based on that info.

I've found that syllabus already, and I checked the school website, and I'm fairly certain the McGehee is retired, as my instructor told me that he wrote the workbook when she was still in college, and she is, with all due respect, somewhat older, so I don't think he has an email lying around the internet anywhere.

It might be a long shot, but you could try calling the school to ask if they know where he is now, or if they have any way to get in contact with him. Just a thought.

I understand the importance of having access to reliable and relevant resources for self-studying. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to find unpublished texts, as they are not widely available. However, there are a few options you can explore in your search for John McGehee's unpublished Physics text.

First, you can try reaching out to the author directly. If you have the name of the text and the author's contact information, you can send them an email or reach out through their professional website to inquire about obtaining a copy. They may be willing to share it with you or direct you to a source where you can access it.

Another option is to check with your local university or college library. They may have a copy of the text in their archives or be able to request it through interlibrary loan. You can also try searching online databases or academic search engines for any mentions or citations of the text, which may lead you to a source where you can access it.

Finally, you can also consider reaching out to other instructors or experts in the field of physics. They may have a copy of the unpublished text or be able to point you in the right direction for obtaining one. Networking and connecting with others in your field can often lead to valuable resources and information.

I hope these suggestions are helpful in your search for John McGehee's unpublished Physics text. Remember to always use reliable and credible sources in your self-studying and never hesitate to ask for help or guidance from others in your academic community. Good luck on your Physics C E&M test!
