The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Space, Time and Motion
Sean Carroll — The real equations of classical physics and relativity, explained for curious readers rather than students.
Why it's on the list
A bridge between popular science and textbooks: it shows the actual equations of motion, gravity and spacetime and explains what they mean, without asking you to solve them. Read it before Susskind's Classical Mechanics.
