Books like The Evolution of Physics: From Early Concepts to Relativity and Quanta

I really enjoyed the explanations given in this book. The author is Einstien but the writing is Infeld. He worked very closely with Einstien.They begin with basic mechanics and work their way through field physics, special and general relativity and then finally to quantum mechanics. All of this is done without mathematic equations. It is all explained through analogies, theories and explanation or real world experiments. It is a very interesting read if for no other reason than to see the development of the theories and how their minds made each transition.I have a personal interest in these areas but no actual education. I really like a book like this that makes it much more understandable to the average Joe.Unfortunately it is dated at this point. There has been many further advancements in both quantum physics and in planetary. They do an excellent job of laying a foundation for further study. This is probably a good book to read before reading Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time."
