This was an excellent post. Do you have other recommendations in the vein of this one? More such posts in you? Sending this to my younger brother as he starts with physics proper.

I do plan to write another like this, perhaps on his lesser known quantum mechanics book.

I don't recall ACX or The Psmiths reviewing a textbook but that's where I would start looking. Certainly the book reviews there will be high quality.

Check out Herbert Callen’s book on thermodynamics. 6/5, best physics book i ever read. Best, PhD physcist.
