What are some introduction level all around physics books?

[Sundires]

Hello! I really like physics but I've been reading pop science books up until now. I feel like it's time for real math based physics. I'm a first year ME student so I have calculus and phys 1&2 covered. I was planning on reading Feynman's yet I've heard it might as well be supported by some other textbooks. Would appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks in advance.

If you want a book at the level of the Feynman Lectures but that's more practical as an introduction, the classic choices would be Kleppner and Kolenkow for mechanics and Purcell for E&M.

If you want something that's easier than the Feynman lectures, there are quite a few possibilities out there. There are some free possibilities catalogued here: http://www.theassayer.org/cgi-bin/asbrowsesubject.cgi?class=Q#freeclassQC
