I know this sounds a little boring but I don't know where else I can seek help.Many here on Pro9 are in the UK so I guess most have done A levels.I am currently studying for my A levels under the Cambridge board.Can anybody recommend me a good physics textbook?Anyone here did Cambridge A levels? I am looking for a thick book which promotes understanding of the subject and provides enough exercises and examples.Thanks.

My wife tutors Physics and Astrophysics for undergraduates (Degree) and a book she refers to is called Physics Classical and Modern International Edition, Keller/Gettys/Skove, McGraw Hill, 1993.
Apparently A level physics syllabus doesn't teach Calculus anymore but I would imagine the Cambridge syllabus is a little more advanced than most. This book is full of Calculus so be warned.....and the book is huge.
There you go....you didn't expect that did you.
.....and less of the Nerd tag.....!

Lol.Thanks.The Cambridge syllabus is the one of the oldest I think and it covers a wide range of topics.That book sounds tough.I just came across this old book called A level Physics,Roger Muncaster,Nelson Thornes.Considering it.Thanks for the help though.I did not expect such a long and clear response.
