Harold Fritzsch " The Fundamental Constants:A Mystery of Physics."

Written as a theoretical conversation between a modern physicist and Einstein and Newton.

"In this book the persons are Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and a modern-day physicist named Adrian Haller, who comes from the University of Bern and is serving as a guest professor at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena."

The dialogue style is a compelling read and captures the essence of today's "Standard Model" and without mathematics while still providing some history of physics.
