Friend asked for a similar list a while ago and I put this together. Would love to see people thoughts/feedback.
Very High Level Introductions:
Deeper Pop-sci Dives (probably in this order):
Blending the line between pop-sci and mathematical (these books are not meant to be read and put away but instead read, re-read and pondered):
this one is my childhood favorite, but so good - https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Tompkins-Paperback-Canto-Classics/dp/1107604680/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Mr+Tompkins+In+Paperback&qid=1550607457&s=gateway&sr=8-1

It's a fantastic book. :)
You might enjoy reading Gamow’s popular book

I read an older edition some 40 years ago and a recent edition again a few years back and it was as delightful to read it now as it was to read it then.
Another suggestion, although a little more advanced, is Feynman’s QED book
QED - The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (Penguin Press Science)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0140125051/
as an aside, a link from amazon of that book is here. While I don't work for the company, and do endorse locally-sourced books, some people find things hard to find from time to time. Sorry for the bother, and continue reading.
