University Physics with Modern Physics 13th ed

Hi, I'm looking to buy the physics book titled above and was wondering if this fits the bill:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/University-Physics-Modern-Technology-Update/dp/0321911008/ref=sr_1_2_twi_pap_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1442667844&sr=1-2&keywords=university+physics+with+modern+physics+13th+edition

It has a different ISBN to the one specified on Imperial's website so I'm wondering if there are any drastic differences between the two.

Also, before I buy, is it worth the purchase? I've read some reviews which suggest it's less geared towards mathematics, which is a bit of a disadvantage since I'm doing the theoretical course. Thanks in advance.

Why don't you read it online first, see if you like it, then buy it if you want a physical copy?

I've read the text from start to finish. It's a good first introduction to the various different fields in physics. However it is not very rigorous and should definitely be supplemented with more focused and in-depth texts.

Right, I think I'll pass then. I also hadn't noticed that it was only a small part of the whole book despite it being in the title! I think it was because amazon listed it under the "used" category for the full book. Anyway, thanks for the replies.
