Recommendations for "pop" Physics books

Just looking for something to break up the Math/Physics studying. I haven't read many pop Physics books so I'm a bit lost, from what I heard there are some bad ones out there. I don't want anything too technical, just something where I can learn about the scientists and the work.

I specifically want something with E&M's history and those guys. Maxwell, Faraday, etc.

Or if there's any QM or maybe even Chemistry books that are good too.

Thanks

I have not read these two, but they seem to be what you are looking for. Good luck and enjoy the readings!
