Could you possibly mean Physics, A Conceptual and Practical Approach?  If so,
I have used it for el ed majors in the university.  It was a pretty good
text, but I finally adopted Kirkpatrick & Wheeler because I thought overall
it was a bit better in some areas.  But I had no real quarrel with Wilson's
book.  If there is one called College Physics, and it's what you want, then I
can't help you--I'm not familiar with it.
