Iain, I have come across an excellent paperback in Dymocks recently called" Human Universe," by prof. Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen, mostly theoretical on both cosmology, Physics and Astronomy. About $20, very readable and inspiring. Two oldies do it for me" Music of the Spheres" in two volumes by Guy Murchie, one on Astronomy and one on Cosmology, and of course the 3 volumes of BurnHam's Celestial Haandbook (mentioned here). Nowadays, Astronomy and Cosmology are not often combined and there's lots out there on Cosmology and Particle Physics(not for bedside reading). Also if you can rise to it "The Great Courses," on dvds are very inspiring and many members of local clubs will have selections.
