Please recommend the best book on Modern Physics.

AI Thread Summary
For students seeking a comprehensive and accessible introduction to Modern Physics without enrolling in a formal course, "Modern Physics" by Kenneth Krane is highly recommended. This book is noted for its clarity and readability, making it suitable for sophomore-level understanding. It provides a solid theoretical foundation along with numerous examples and problems, similar to the approach found in popular texts like Griffith's Electrodynamics and Halliday's Fundamentals of Physics. The discussion emphasizes the importance of finding a single, cohesive resource rather than multiple books for different topics in Modern Physics.

Please recommend Modern Physics book which is good for a student. Not taking a course
about the subject. I don't agree with comments like get a book for each subject. I want to know Modern Physics at level of sophomore. Is there a book like Griffith's Electrodynamics or Halliday's Fundamentals of physics, which is popular and extremely readable and has a bunch of examples and problems?
I searched about this but I can't find strong recommendation.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
