    "Once Before Time" maybe the only layman's guide to loop quantum cosmology.

    For popular books, I suggest:

    a) Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes by Vilenkin
    b) Cosmic Jackpot by Davies
    c) The Inflationary Universe by Guth

    There are hundreds of other good ones, but these are a few of my favorite that I read cover-to-cover.

    The most readable one with some of the math in my opinion is Introduction to Modern Cosmology by Liddle.
