Books for entry level physics (with mathematics)

[RedAlert]

Hello,

Could you recommend some good entry level physics textbooks, preferably with mathematics included (so not pure conceptual), although if there are some pure conceptural books around, I would not mind reading them.

Thanks a lot!

Asimov, Understanding Physics. Only requires algebra. No exercises.

Sherwin, Basic Concepts of Physics. Requires some calculus.

Also
https://www.amazon.com/dp/069108016X/?tag=pfamazon01-20, but don't really know much about this one.

And a standard undergraduate text (Resnick & Halliday 3rd ed.):

French, https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393099709/?tag=pfamazon01-20. The original paperback was a beautiful book.

Why is it that the newer editions of the textbooks are not that great? Also, I have the 5th edition of Halliday, Resnick and Walker, should I return it and instead invest in the 3rd edition?
