Books like Introduction to Mechanics by Daniel Kleppner

This textbook covers all the standard introductory topics in classical mechanics, including Newton's laws, oscillations, energy, momentum, angular momentum, planetary motion, and special relativity. It also explores more advanced topics, such as normal modes, the Lagrangian method, gyroscopic motion, fictitious forces, 4-vectors, and general relativity. It contains more than 250 problems with detailed solutions so students can easily check their understanding of the topic. There are also over 350 unworked exercises which are ideal for homework assignments. Password protected solutions are available to instructors at www.cambridge.org/9780521876223. The vast number of problems alone makes it an ideal supplementary text for all levels of undergraduate physics courses in classical mechanics. Remarks are scattered throughout the text, discussing issues that are often glossed over in other textbooks, and it is thoroughly illustrated with more than 600 figures to help demonstrate key concepts.

This text is appropriate for those preparing for mathematics examinations at A Level and for students on technical courses in further and higher education. Key mechanical principles are introduced in a simple and direct manner with worked examples. Questions and exercises are carefully graded to provide a steady progression. Each chapter closes with a comprehensive selection of recent examination questions.

A clear, step‑by‑step introductory textbook that explains the fundamentals of mechanics with proofs and examples, preparing students for advanced study in physics, engineering, and related sciences.

This is the best textbook that I have seen for upper division or graduate level mechanics. The table of contents and the solutions to the end-of-chapter problems, handwritten by Bradbury, are posted at archive.org under the title, "Theoretical Mechanics - Problem solutions."

The Birth of a New Physics traces humanity’s quest from the 16th century to modern times for a comprehensive theory of the moving universe.
