Brooks Cole, 2004
Excellent
+ Compact yet solid.. + Good book overall.
This is a very good undergrad. book on mechanics. Pretty standard in its coverage: newton's laws, oscillating systems, rigid bodies, lagrangian dynamics. The problems are interesting and doable. The notation remains reasonable at this level (better than marion). The section on rigid body motion is ...

Modern Physics 14 reviews Raymond A. Serway, Clement J. Moses, ...
Brooks Cole, 2004
Great Introduction to Modern Physics
+ Not a bad Modern Physics text - in fact, interesting in places.
I've used this book for two semesters of modern physics and think it's a great introduction to the material. It's a nice/easy read which expects almost no prior knowledge besides calculus. If you're interested in relativity and quantum mechanics, yet have never had any formal education on either, ...
