Physics Textbooks for Self-Study: Mechanics, Electrodynamics & More

[Hioj]

I've recently taken a liking to physics and math, and I want to start reading some texts about the various physics topics. There are many books out there to choose from, I'll list the books next to the topic as I go along.

Mechanics

1. "Introduction to Classical Mechanics: With Problems and Solutions" by David Morin.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521876222/?tag=pfamazon01-20

2. "Newtonian Mechanics" by A.P. French.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393099709/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Electricity and magnetism/electrodynamics

1. "Electricity and Magnetism (Berkeley Physics Course, Vol. 2)", by Edward M. Purcell.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0070049084/?tag=pfamazon01-20

2. "Introduction to Electrodynamics", by David J. Griffiths.

Quantum Mechanics

"Introduction to Quantum Mechanics", by David J. Griffiths.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0131118927/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Thermodynamics

"Concepts in Thermal Physics", by Stephen J. Blundell and Katherine M. Blundell.

Special Relativity

"Special Relativity (MIT Introductory Physics)", by A.P. French.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0748744479/?tag=pfamazon01-20When helping me out with the following questions, keep in mind I've been through the whole University Physics book, but I feel it's insufficient and doesn't give me a solid understanding of the subject.Which book is better in mechanics and electricity and magnetism?

Any particular physics problem solving books you can recommend?

Try Feynman Lectures

 

[SuicideSteve]

I will second The Feynman Lectures on Physics. I am working through volume 1 at the moment. It is a beautiful introduction to classical mechanics in a rather "unorthodox" sort of way that seems to read more like a "Book" than a "Textbook". Make sure you do supplement problems such as Tips on Physics or some other college level workbook.

I would also recommend reading Surely Your Joking Mr. Feynman as this is a very funny book and will give you some insight on the great mind of Richard Feynman.

Edit: There are also some of the problems that the students actually did in the recitation sessions, after Feynman gave his lectures, floating around on the Internet. However, most are without solutions.
