What are some good textbooks that treat physics in an axiomatic and mathematically rigorous fashion? I came across a cheap copy of A Unified Grand Tour of Theoretical Physics and so far it seems to be a good overview of physics. What books would serve to branch off from this book?
E.g. the ones named here (http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=344317)
