Astrophysics
Astrophysics applies physics to stars, galaxies and the whole universe. Katie Mack's The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking) is a lively tour of modern cosmology built around one question, how the universe will end, and five scenarios that current physics allows. Along the way Mack explains the Big Bang, dark energy and the expansion of space in clear language, with jokes and footnotes. One of the most enjoyable popular science books of recent years.
