Intro Physics Finding Books on Elementary Particle Physics & Special Relativity

Click For Summary
For introductory elementary particle physics, recommendations include "Particle Physics" by Martin and Shaw, which is considered accessible for undergraduate students. For a text comparable to Griffiths, "Modern Particle Physics" by Thomson is suggested, along with his 2011 lecture slides available online. For special relativity, specific titles were not mentioned, but the focus remains on finding suitable undergraduate-level resources.

For particle physics, at a lower level than Griffiths, I like "Particle Physics" by Martin and Shaw. At about the same level as Griffiths, I really like "Modern Particle Physics" by Thomson. Thomson has a made an excellent set of 2011 lecture slides available at

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
