Classical Mechanics The Theoretical Minimum
This is the pinnacle of current physics master classes. A primer that teaches you how to do physics on your own is a collaboration between citizen scientist George Hrabovsky and renowned physicist and father of the string theory Leonard Susskind.
The authors cover the bare minimum that readers should be able to understand by combining simple tasks with explanations of the rules of the universe (including important equations and algebra). They provide a practical toolkit that you won't find in any other popular science book, as well as an introduction to the fundamental ideas of modern physics, including quantum theory, general relativity, and classical mechanics.
A fantastic and distinctive resource. If someone is serious in learning physics, they should look beyond the usual popularizations.
