Looking for a specific type of physics book

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a casual, concise physics book similar to a math book they own, which effectively reminds them of concepts in a fun way. While no exact match is suggested, several recommendations are provided, including books that offer a friendly discussion about physics rather than traditional textbook formats. Titles like "Physics for the Inquiring Mind" and the Feynman Lectures are mentioned, although the latter may not fit the desired brevity. The conversation emphasizes the need for accessible and engaging physics literature that caters to varying levels of understanding.

I've finished physics but I'd like to have a certain kind of book. I have
this book about math (click the link.) It's written in a very causal style and covers very many topics in a terse way. It's just enough to remind me of concepts when I forget, and it's fun to read.

Is there a book like this for physics?

Thanks

The math book you mentioned is very nice, thank you for the link.
Unfortunately, I am not aware of any totally similar book on physics.

But maybe you might like these two very similar books, one on math, the other on physics:

I'll take a look at those links, thanks. The book I'm looking for is not at all like a textbook, but like a friendly discussion about physics. We'll see :)
 
I will have to examine gullberg's book. As of now I do not know of a similar book that treats physics
