Re: Modern Physics Textbook



I'm currently using Ken Krane's "Modern Physics, 2nd Edition." It's a 1996
revision. Have previously used and liked Tipler's text, don't know the
current edition. I occasionally use Taylor & Wheeler's "Spacetime Physics"
to cover relativity as a supplemental text.

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.
