I found an excellent book through this forum: Gravity from the ground up by Bernard Schutz.

I would appreciate more recommendations for good books on physics for the layman. I am not afraid of math (I am an engineer) but I think visually not mathematically.

Once I get through the first book I promise a review.

Sorry for posting in the wrong area. However, there should be a sticky of recommend reading in each area of the forum. Frankly, I consider this a big oversight. I believe this forum is about education and in this society, education begins with books. I am not just complaining, let me help.
