"There are two types of useful physics/math textbooks, ones that are clearly written albeit dull in language, and then David J. Griffiths's books, which are clear and entertainingly written. He is the only physicist writer I know who seems to thoroughly get-off on the act of writing and teaching through language. His books are fun and funny. He knows what are the tripping points for the student and helps the students work through those difficulties.
His work has inspired more undergraduates to continue on than any other writer. Recently, he was giving a lecture at MIT and the sign up for the pre-lecture lunch was filled by graduate students immediately. He is a student magnet. In some ways his books should come with the warning:Careful! You Will Never Come Across Something this Inspiring Again!
"This book is the paragon of fine textbook writing. Griffith discusses experiment, history, and theory alongside one another. Every great equation is preceded by a discussion of the physics behind it and when you do reach that beautiful equation, you understand every piece. Intuitive pictures and explanations accompany any abstract proof. Doing the exercises is like unwrapping a present; each leading the student to discover some new and interesting facet of the material most recently presented. There are frequent attempts to unify concepts and keep the big picture in mind. This is the kind of textbook that a self-motivated learner (read: student who doesn't go to lecture) dreams of.
I'm just starting his Quantum Mechanics book and long for the day after when I can crack open that Elementary Particles book.
