Any suggestions would be appreciated...

One of the classic entry level (undergraduate) physics books is Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday and Resnick (multiple editions). It does require basic calculus I think and will be $$$$ new. I would suggest getting one used. Any edition should be fine. Even graduate students go back and look up problems and concepts out of Halliday and Resnick. Caveat: I never took a course out of the book or owned it, however everyone I knew in grad school had a copy. I was a dummy to never have gotten one.
