Just started reading this book as an introduction to physics with a background of electrical engineering. It is absolutely fascinating and being new to the forum I'd appreciate it if anyone had any suggestions for further general learning.

Thank you all for inspiring me to learn more physics on my own.

P.S. I love communications so if anyone has sources for learning the physics behind that I'd greatly appreciate it.
