One of the best textbook ever-written on non-quantum phenomena: relativity, electromagnetism, and general relativity.
Volume 2 of Landau and Lifschitz is a must for all who are interested in developing a thorough understanding of classical physics (non-quantum). It complements nicely Volume 1, which is regarded as the best textbook on Newtonian mechanics.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
