Hi - i am going to go to univerisity soon and have begun to look up courses in Physics. can anyone please recommend a degree-level physics textbook (in either general physics or a specialised area) that I can read over just to get an idea of the course and how it will be?

i don't want a very difficult or complex book, because I have already tried reading one and the first few pages were beyond me!

Thanks
