A Fundamental Approach to Modern Physics
by John Townsend
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.

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.”
