Subject: Modern Physics Textbook


Can anyone recommend a textbook for a modern physics course? This course
follows
our introductory physics sequence and is usually taken in the second
semester of
the sophomore year. We are looking for a book that is up-to-date and
readable.

Thanks for any input you can provide.

We've used Tipler' Elementary Modern Physics and not been overly impressed.
I like Thorton and Rex's Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers
better, but it is hard to get through in a semester.
