Comprehensive Mechanics Book: Newtonian, Lagrangian, Hamiltonian & Relativistic

[Reedeegi]

I'm looking for a comprehensive book that covers Newtonian, Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and Relativitistic Mechanics. Is there such a book, and what is it called?

 

[malawi_glenn]

Goldstein of course.

 

[Erythro73]

Classical Mechanics by Taylor does it too. It's simpler to understand than Goldstein, but much less rigorous. Still, if you never played with lagrangian/hamiltonian mechanics, you're better with Taylor.

Marion and Thorton was our introductory book.

You can look for them at amazon and read peoples opinions.

And I used Hand & Finch (and recommend it as much as I can recommend any classical mechanics book, although it sort of presupposes you know enough Newtonian mechanics.)
