None of these will substitute for a peer reviewed paper...but I get the impression that a peer reviewed paper is definitely -not- what you're looking for?
(if you want that book just pm me.....)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Try Feymans lectures, maybe, if you're looking at this sort of stuff.....or-

Touches, here and there.
Well besides the random article or quote here and there, I can't say I'm too familiar with his work. I borrowed 'The Grand Design' on audio book from the library a while back, before I had any understanding of QM or even physics, and I was pretty lost after chapter 2 or 3. Really though, I probably assimilate information better when I actually read it.
Also, I have a book called 'Quantum Physics for Poets' that is supposed to be very accessible...
Let me just say it left me feeling quite retarded.

Hahahahaha, well, if you picked up "Quantum Physics for Poets" perhaps you would enjoy
"First You Build a Cloud"
Quote:For many of us, physics, like math, has always been a thing of mystery and complexity. In First You Build a Cloud, K. C. Cole provides cogent explanations through animated prose, metaphors, and anecdotes, allowing us to comprehend the nuances of physics-gravity and light, color and shape, quarks and quasars, particles and stars, force and strength. We also come to see how the physical world is so deeply intertwined with the ways in which we think about culture, poetry, and philosophy. Cole, one of our preeminent science writers, serves as a guide into the world of such legendary scientific minds as Richard Feynman, Victor Weisskopf, brothers Frank Oppenheimer and J. Robert Oppenheimer, Philip Morrison, Vera Kistiakowsky, and Stephen Jay Gould.
