This is the book that was selected for my calculus-based physics course in undergraduate. It had plenty of examples and go into all the interesting details of the basics of physics. I would recommend the bopok to anyone with an interest in physics as it relates to motion, force, ect.
Light and Its Uses: Making and Using Lasers,Interferometers and Instruments of Dispersion (Readings from Scientific American) by Jearl Walker
Collection of articles from the Amateur Scientist column of Scientific American magazine, including one of mine from Jan 1975.
I used this book in 1990, and tried to use it again in 2015 but it was just too outdated. So I replaced it with the 10 Ed.
About the mezzo scale, between the exceedingly big and the very, very small, the interesting parts of physics.
