Yes, those are the best. But I already have them!

Hi, What do you think are the best Russian/Soviet/MIR physics books that are available in English? Should be undergraduate level or higher. All time classics that really explain the subject matter well. Thanks.

Hi, I graduated with an undergraduate degree in physics 16 years ago, and I would like to go back and relearn all that great knowledge that I forgot. I was thinking of the following series of books. -Do you recommend changing the order in which I go through them? -Do you recommend adding a...
