Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is Different by Philip Ball
Quantum mechanics is weird. It seems to go against how we observe in the world. In our normal everyday life, traditional physics does seem to do a good job. However, quantum physics help explain some of the details that tie things together. Observations are not "free". Anytime we try to observe something we change it in some way. This makes science challenging.
This book was one of the more clearly written ones on thee subject. It acknowledges the weirdness and does a good job elucidating principles in context.
