Back when I was in college I used "Modern Physics" by Paul Tipler. It seemed like a good book (and it helped to have a good teacher.) This book was copyright 1978 by Worth Publishers; I took it to be a 2nd edition since it was a revision of Tipler's 1969 "Foundation of Modern Physics".
Recently I decided to buy an updated version of this book: I found that the latest version is from W.H. Freeman & Co.
A 3rd and 4th edition seem to be currently available. I was thinking about buying one of these new editions. Any thoughts? Is the 4th edition really worth paying the extra $$$ for?
Also, would anyone reccomend that I not get Tipler, but rather other modern physics books, such as:
Modern Physics by Raymond A. Serway
Modern Physics by Kenneth S. Krane
Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Second Edition by John Taylor
Modern Physics by Jeremy Bernstein
Concepts of Modern Physics by Arthur Beiser
Any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Robert
