What texts are there that cover classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and general relativity utilizing tensors and geometry almost exclusively? I've had a tough time finding such a book...
 
Is there any text on general relativity that does not heavily use tensors and geometry?

I have Carroll and Wald, but I'm interested on learning Mechanics utilizing the same language, if there has been such a formulation.
 
"Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics" by V. I. Arnold
 
For electromagnetics, I'd recommned "The Formal Structure of Electromagnetics" by Post. Also, for mechanics, Marsden and Hughes "Mathematical Foundations of Elasticity", any book on Rational Mechanics (Truesdell, etc)
