I realized eventually that I have recommended dozens of science – cosmology, field theory, hydrodynamics – books and textbooks in my posts,  so I thought: why not to put them in a single comprehensible list? Said and done.

Not all books I recommend in the posts are included into this list. First of all, I decided to only include the books I personally own or have read them from the beginning to the end.

Second and most important – I would like to offer you a free support for the books in this list. That is, if you study a book from the list, you can ask me about something that is unclear to you in the text. Or you can ask me to help you to solve a problem from the book :-)

Why do I want to offer so much for free? :-) Well, one reason is that I really want to reach perfection in understanding theoretical physics. The second reason is that it’s so good to feel your brain stretching ;-) The third and final reason is that in return I will ask you to subscribe to this blog (if you have not yet already done this) :-)

But enough explanations, and please let me to present the best (from my point of view) list of books about theoretical physics and its applications.

Cosmology

Quantum field theory: basics

Quantum field theory: quantum chromodynamics

String theory

Classical mechanics

Classical field theory

Hydrodynamics and turbulence

Condensed matter physics: basics
