Not a Stand-Alone book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book introduces all the proper facets of Modern Physics. It only falls short on problem solving concepts. I found the material brought up during the chapters did not prepare me for the problems at the end of the chapters. In addition to that, a fair amount of the answers in the back of the book are wrong. I found I could only manage the course by getting a Schaum's Outline of Modern Physics. The Schaum's Outline gave all the worked out examples that the Ohanian book lacks. So get Ohanian for the concepts, and Schaum's for problem-solving.
Good intro to serious modern physics

This textbook assumes a knowledge in classical physics, and then proceeds to excellently cover topics in modern physics, including, relativity, quantum mechanics, solid state physics, nuclear physics and particle physics. It is a good choice for trying to acquire a knowledge of modern physics for the reader who has a good knowledge of classical physics (advanced high school program or first year University) but wants to move on.
