In true DK style there is not a single white page with black type. Lots of colour and diagrams. Starts with basic principles and works its way through to Higgs Boson in a way that anyone with a high school education can follow. It even include star charts at the back.

If you want a hard read get the Cambridge University equivalent.

I have a high school education , where can I find a copy of this book?
