NPS uses Thornton / Rex  "Modern Physics  for scientists
and engineers"   I'll ask the instructor (for whom I'm
doing the lab / demos).

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.
