The Mysterious Universe by James Jeans 1877- †1946
Text source: https://archive.org/details/b30010305 (please only read from this text!)One of the earliest of the popular science book genre, it is a philosophical summary of the new physics of the era by a leading British physicist. Keeping technical references to a bare minimum, Jeans argues that physics has entered a new age in which mathematical representation has supplanted mechanical models.
