Are there any new entertaining (not getting into mathmatics) cosmology books for the intelligent, but mathmatically illiterate person.
Last couple I read and liked are:
Elegant Universe: Brian Greene
Fabric of the Cosmos: Brian Greene
Parallel Worlds: Michio Kaku
Thanks

Warped Passages by Lisa Randall is pretty new, as well as Leonard Susskind's book The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design.
i highly recommend both...and based on what you have read already these books are in the same vein, which i think is what you're looking for.

The first couple of chapters in Bill Bryson's book, "A Short History of Nearly Everything" has a good discription of cosmology that nearly everyone can understand. Cosmos by Carl Sagan isn't new but it is still informative and entertaining nonetheless.

"A Brief History of Time" is supposedly very good, I started it several years ago but my "reading gene" is very weak. :)
