If you have the math background (advanced calculus and vector algebra), then there is no better writer than David J. Griffiths. He is the only textbook author I have every encountered who remembers that a textbook is, first and foremost, a book; and that a book is meant to be an enjoyable read!

(I'm linking to Wikipedia rather than to the publisher's website, so that you can read about the books. All of them are available on the used market, and in electronic format.)

"Introduction to Electrodynamics, 3rd Ed." includes two chapters on special relativity and relativistic electrodynamics, and he covers causality very well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Electrodynamic...

For quantum mechanics, with even more math (partial derivatives), try "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 3rd Ed.", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Quantum_Mechan...

If you don't have a strong math background, then his "Revolutions in 20th Century Physics" is a slim, but packed book, also excellent. It covers (conceptually) both special relativity and quantum mechanics, along with a healthy dose of particle physics. The target audience for this book are non-science majors. https://books.google.com/books?id=Tv8cz-kN2z0C&redir_esc=y
