Quantum Physics
A Fundamental Approach to Modern Physics
by John Townsend
Should I read this?
appears in Quantum Physics.
This brilliantly innovative textbook is intended as a first introduction to quantum mechanics and its applications. Townsend's new text shuns the historical ordering that characterizes socalled Modern Physics textbooks and applies a truly modern approach to this subject, starting instead with contemporary singlephoton and singleatom interference...

Consider The Feynman Lectures on Physics by Richard P. Feynman. Recommended by 1 sources.
“The experience feels like learning physics by watching someone think: definitions, assumptions, and derivations are laid out so the “why” stays visible. This helps most when you enjoy building understanding from scratch and rereading tough steps. The limitation is that the book is mostly exposition rather than hands-on practice, so you may feel stuck without feedback. You’ll likely get annoyed if you want a tightly modern presentation, or if you expect lots of guided problems.”
