If you require one text on physics that gives you lucid, clear-cut explanations, then I recommend Nelkon & Parker. I used this text along with the one by Resnick & Halliday, and found that it was a useful combination, as the books complemented and supplemented each other rather well. A terrific book, an excellent read...
Excellent Reading

I used this text for my A-Levels (in Tanzania). It is undoubtedly the best physics text I have seen for A-levels. Explaining clearly and keeping the reader intereseted. It uses sufficient explanation without sacrificing mathematical proofs. I recommend it for all A-Level students, and also for Freshmen and sophomore level physics students (even some junior level topics) in the USA. It is far above any of the unnecessarily long winded books I used in my undergrad courses in the US. It is also a must have for begining physics enthuthiasts and for those wanting a reference. Thats why I am looking for a copy since I lost my old one!
Excellent book for fundamentals as well as advanced topics!

This is no doubt the best book for any A level/grd . 11-12 course of any country ! Concepts are explained in a very nice manner. I used it in early 80s, my seniors were using it for many years and I still recommend it to all students of Physics.
Its probably the greatest and clearest Physics book ever

I used this book for my A-Levels just 2 years ago, because my father used it more than 25 years earlier. This book helped me even more than the new text recommend by my school.
Very good book. I used it as a student 30 years ago
