I'm thinking something like Asimov's New Guide to Science. This is a 900 page tome that provides great explanations of all the major branches of science. The explanatory level is somewhere below a textbook but above a popular science book. The emphasis is on the science rather than historical anecdotes. A similar book is The Ascent of Science by Brian Silver.

However, Asimov is 1993 and Silver 1998. A lot has happened in science since then. Anyone know of any books like these that have been published more recently?
