I think the second volume in the Berkeley Physics Course, published
originally around 1970, is excellent for the type of presentation
you seem to be after.  It stressed superposition, symmetry, and
other "short-cut" principles, and had nice diagrams that made the
integral theorems appear "natural".  I forget the author but it may
have been Purcell.
