The Bit and the Pendulum
Interested in all the new theories of physics but have no head for the math? Neither does Tom Siegfried.
The book opens with a concession: Siegfried (a writer by trade, not a physicist) says, "OK, let's just assume that these very, very smart men have lots of math to support their theories. This book will be about their ideas, not their justifications for those ideas", and the book is better for it.
Siegfried writes with an engaging, informal style, and explains some of the newest, most interesting (and sometimes most outlandish-sounding) theories in modern science in a way that never seems obtuse or unapproachable.
