Quantum physics is notoriously for crushing the enthusiasm of many a young physics student with a massive iron club of mathematics but this is a surprisingly gentle introduction that doesn't sacrifice the theory.
Quantum theory grew out of investigations into atoms and the basic approach of this book parallels that historical development, tracing quantum theory through the study of atoms, molecules, solids, and nuclei. Many other books simply toss chuck wave functions at you and hope More...

The best text I have ever read (and you actually CAN read it as it's nicely approachable) for introductory to intermediate discussion of Quantum mechanics. Brilliant to get you accustomed to the initially bizarre concepts in the subject although you'll have to look elsewhere for a discussion of Dirac notation and the more advanced relativistic side of QM.

I liked this one the best of all my undergraduate textbooks in quantum physics. The exposition is relatively prose-heavy, but it never gets tedious, and the ideas are clear.
