Sounds a bit like the book I'm listening to,
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. Bryson has a delightful and entertaining way of conveying not only the scientific facts and theories, but the history of how we came to understand the universe around us. From the beginnings of everything (big bang or not) to the rise of civilization, with geology, paleontology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and biology all thrown into the mix. I'm only 1/3 of the way into the book and thoroughly enjoying it.
While I don't enjoy reading non-fiction, I find that I *really* enjoy listening to well-written and well-presented non-fiction. Interestingly, Bryson has referred to a number of books which I've already "read", and I'm adding others that he mentions to my Audible wish list.
