Modern Physics Textbook Recommendations for Top-Tier Universities

[RJ Emery]

I seek current textbook recommendations for Modern Physics (Relativity, Quantum, Nuclear, Particles), upper undergraduate and graduate level, preferably that which are used at top-tier universities. Suggestions appreciated.

I'm not sure if top tier universities use Modern Physics books (a famous is Beiser's Concepts of Modern Physics), as they would be too elementary, especially at upper undergraduate and graduate levels.

David Tong's University of Cambridge lectures:

His lectures themselves are better than most textbooks, but at the beginning of each lecture he recommends a few textbooks for more details.
