"The Elegant Universe" seems like the answer to your question. I have read a couple chapters of the book, and it contains a very descriptive view of the universe. There is a site dedicated to the book on my source.

Well. the answer to all this is available online itself. If you seach in yahoo itself all the answers are there.
For my own choices I would prefer you to go for Patrick Moore books. He is one of the best in this field.
To be sincere with you, the fact is that since Astronomy is a very exhaustive and developing field, please check everything online for references as I have seen that the books at times can be outdated.

"Stars" by James Kaler is my favorite
"Our Cosmic Habitat" by Martin Rees is another great one.
