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.
