   Ed Purcell is probably one of the least famous but amazing expositor of Physics that I have come across. His book on electricity and magnetism (part of Berkeley Physics Course) is one of the best introductions to the topic (but again not very well known) Edit: Linking to the amazon page of the US edition, which seems to be out of print(http://www.amazon.com/Electricity-Magnetism-Berkeley-Physics...)

   > Purcell for Electricity & Magnetism

   This once came out as part of Berkeley Physics Course [1] which I think would be a great complement to Feynman's Lectures.

   Problem with these lectures is, they require too much work for a layman to benefit from them; at the same time, they are too elementary to be useful for a seriously interested person (say, an engineer). The book may still be good for schoolchildren who are interested in physics. I find more traditional courses, such as Berkeley Physics Course, more informative.
