Brian Greene, "The Elegant Universe" (1999)
Brian Greene, "The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time and the Texture of
Reality" (2004)
Seife, "Alpha & Omega", Viking (2003)
Wright, "Ned Wright's Cosmology Tutorial"

Popular Cosmology Books

Another covering similar ground is Martin Rees, "Just Six Numbers".

And then there are, as the book department once put it Unpopular
Cosmology Books that do not shirk from all of the relevant equations.

Joseph Silk, "The Big Bang" is pretty good on that count.
