Can you reccoment a second first year UG text book?

Hi, at the moment I am using the set book (Physics for scientists and engineers, Tipler) for my core physics modules at uni. However I want something which has roughly the same stuff in it but which will present it in a slightly different way. A good analogy is my use of maths books, I use both Boas and Riley and I find that by looking at both of these I am able to understand stuff better.

I know that people will say that I should go into the library and look at the books, however I am just looking for a suggestion of what people have found useful or alternatively what people think they would find useful if they were in my position.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
