How did we learn that galaxies exist beyond our own, or that a star has a life history? These books take the questions seriously and let you follow the explanations without advanced math. Begin with Neil deGrasse Tyson for a short tour, Simon Singh for the evidence behind the Big Bang, or Katie Mack for theories about how the universe might end. Several older books are here for the way they explain an idea in the context of their time.

Book
Published
Paul Davies considers why the conditions of the universe allow familiar matter and complex life to exist. Comparing the proposed explanations is the point of the book. It is a good choice if you want to see how a question about physical conditions can lead to competing ideas with very different evidentiary demands.
