Why Does E=mc²? (And Why Should We Care?) by Jeffrey R. Forshaw, Brian Cox
4.0
If I were completely subjective, as I am coming from an engineering background, and I'm already familiar with everything mentioned in the book, I would rate it much lower. But the fact is, it has no difficult mathematics, and the tone of the book should be understandable to people coming from non-scientific backgrounds, and as such, it is an excellent starting point.
A fun fact, the book was published in 2011, before the announcement by CERN in 2012 of the experimental discovery of the Higgs boson. Thus some of the parts of what you read in this book are confirmed, and you will also understand what the big deal was with said announcement.
