The Greatest Stuff on Earth by Steve Tomecek
When I was a kid we were fascinated by the book The Way Things Work which broke down the mechanics of all sorts of inventions. This is in many ways the literary grandchild of that book. Only it doesn't stop at inventions. Or mechanics. This is the deep science of a lot of things. The selection of topics feels a bit random but does amount to a fair amount of scientific understanding. It's a book you can pick up in fits and starts and always learn something new.
