Old, and I tout, as author was my thesis advisor, and (along W/Wm Walker) got me into Keele for my doctorate.

Fundamentals of Modern Physics Also there’s Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules, Solids, Nuclei, and Particles <https://www.allbookstores.com/Quantum-Physics-Atoms-Molecules-Solids/9780471873730>, and his intro book:

Physics, foundations and applications https://archive.org/details/physicsfoundatio01eisb_0 <https://archive.org/details/physicsfoundatio01eisb_0>


And, surprized JD hasn’t mentioned Feynman, et alii for at least reference.


bc …. thinks he still has his Sophomore modern physics text at UCSB, but that’s ~ 65 years ago.
