Roger Penrose, "The Road To Reality", a complete guide to the laws of the universe.
It starts with science as it was over 2,500 years ago, and build the current understanding of the Universe as described by Mathematics and the Laws of Physics they create. Penrose does not avoid the necessary math, at the necessary level, but does an excellent job explaining that math and why it is the best tool for the topic at hand. Penrose is an excellent writer giving lucid explanations in only 1,049 pages of fine reading.
An excellent physics book for the math major, or an physics reference book for any science major whose has had math through differential equations and linear algebra.
