The God Equation

By Michio Kaku

A concise history of physics' quest for a unified theory — from Newton through Maxwell, Einstein, quantum mechanics, and string theory. Kaku explains why physicists believe a single equation describing all forces is achievable.

Kaku is an excellent popularizer. The book reads quickly and gives a clear sense of where theoretical physics stands without requiring any mathematics.
