I looked at Amazon.com for this book. (When I searched for "physics
knight" I imagined finding a comic/text book of that title. Hee.)

I assume you mean Randall D. Knight? Which of his books do you recommend?
_Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics: A Strategic
Approach_? I see he also has _Physics: A Contemporary Perspective
(Physics Preliminary Edition)_ and a few other preliminary edition things.

Though, seeing reviews, I don't know if these would suit me. I rather
enjoy having a head full of meaningless formulas.
