A Very Short Introduction to Everything:
http://images.amazon.com/media/i3d/01/final_version_of_vsie.pdf
.. is an overview of the "A Very Short Introduction" series from
Oxford Press.
Its an interesting series of books attempting to be brief, pocketable
and good surveys of whatever catches the author's fancy.
I stumbled over this looking for stuff by one of my favorite authors,
Philip Ball, who has two titles in the series (The Elements &
Molecules).
