What Are the Best Books to Understand the History of Physics?

[dumbperson]

I realized that I know nothing about the history of physics!

Does anyone have any good recommendations on this topic?
For example I'd like to have a clear timetable in my head about what was discovered at what time? by who? what were the methods/thoughts that went into it and what did the rest of the scientific community think about it? that kind of stuff!

Slightly heavy going in some chapters but a very interesting look at developments from 1900 to almost now:
