A good place to start
I always liked physics in high-school. I decided to take a computer engineering degree, which has a lot of math and physics in the first years, but only computer classes in the final years - so I forgot a little bit about my passion for physics after college. However, someone offered me this book one or two years after college, and this book ignited again my passion for physics.
This is not a very in-depth book, but it does cover all the main physics theories and models (so, the title "The Universe in a Nutshell" is well-deserved), in quite an amusing way. If you've been away from physics from quite sometime, this is a very good place to start again: Electromagnetism, Special and General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, it's all there. by Rui Antunes
