Can you recommend a physics book?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a physics book suitable for a high school level understanding, "University Physics" is highly recommended. It encompasses a broad range of topics, from basic vector calculus to modern physics, making it a comprehensive resource for refreshing foundational knowledge. The book is accessible for those who haven't engaged with physics since AP courses and serves as a solid introduction to more advanced concepts.

Since you asked for a "physics" book in general, and nothing specific: take a look at University Physics (http://wps.aw.com/aw_young_physics_11/, http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/academic/product/0,,080538684X,00%2ben-USS_01DBC.html ). It covers everything from basic vector calculus to modern physics.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
