To say that "I Loved It" is a little over the top. This is an excellent reference book for the state of physics and cosmology through about 1989. Some math skills can be useful in some areas; however, you'll find the text in most instances will give you a good review of the material. John Archibald Wheeler, with whom you are familiar, sets the stage. You'll see names you've known and names you don't know. I find myself verbally referencing material from the book when talking with my friends... good for one upmanship. I need to add: If you are a teacher, you already know that you will need to check the current state of physics for much has changed since 1989. My son wanted a copy for Christmas; he got it.
