In summary, some recommended introductory physics books for beginners include "Concepts of Modern Physics" by Arthur Beiser, "Fundamentals of Physics" by David Halliday and Robert Resnick, and "The Feynman Lectures on Physics" by Richard Feynman. For books on quantum mechanics, "Quantum Mechanics" by David J. Griffiths, "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by David A. McAllister, and "Quantum Physics for Beginners" by Zbigniew Ficek are highly recommended. Popular books on astrophysics include "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil deGrasse Tyson, "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, and "The Elegant Universe
