Original poster: "Dr. Resonance" <resonance-at-jvlnet-dot-com> 


Physics I & II  by Halliday & Resnick covers the basic in good form.  It's
commonly used as a college level physics textbook.  Usually available thru
interlibrary-loan program.  Or, a used copy thru Barnes & Nobles used book
division.
