The Great Design: Particles, Fields, and Creation

Oxford University Press, 1987

Although modern physics surrounds us and its concepts are constantly referred to in every newspaper, even educated nonscientists find the subject intimidating in the extreme.

C++ Without Fear: A Beginner's Guide That Makes You Feel Smart (2nd Edition)

Prentice Hall, 2011
