Lewis Carroll Epstein explains deep ideas in physics in an easy-to-understand way. Thinking Physics is a perfect beginner’s guide to an amazingly wide range of physics-related questions. The book targets topics that science teachers and students spend time wondering about, like wing lift. Epstein elucidates the familiar but misunderstood — such as how tides work — along with more obscure but fascinating phenomena like the “Bernoulli sub” and the “artificial aurora” created by hydrogen bombs. Broken into many short sections and peppered with Epstein’s own playful hand-drawn illustrations, the book does not simply give the right answer: It also goes into the answers that seem right but are wrong and shows why they are wrong — a rarity in science books. Thinking Physics is a rigorously correct, lighthearted, and cleverly designed Q and A book for physicists of all ages.

Thinking Physics,3rd Edition : Understandable Practical Reality by Lewis Carroll Epstein Review
I find the book addresses a problem some of my stronger math students have: because they have trouble understanding the phenomenon, and therefore use formuli blindly, they fail to see physics as a descriptive science. Often, these stronger math students are weak readers, and it's because of this I recommend this book. Each topic is introduced with a problem/question (math students love problems), and the answer is given with a short (1 to 2 pages) easy to understand explanation.
This book is a good counter balance to very theoretical physics books. It has almost no math, and concentrates on explaining physical phenomena with simple sentences, not equations. Someone with no science background could read this book without any problems.
