Answer (2)

The Elegant Universe, though a good book, covers too many topics. If you are particularly interested in quantum mechanics then I would recommend, it may require previous knowledge about the topic as it covers much on String Theory, T.O.E., and Grand Unified Theories.

Answer (3)

The New Quantum Universs .By Tony Hey - Patrick Walters

-Popular Physics book (No math)

In Search of Schrodinger's Cat

By John Gribbin

-Textbook (Junior Level Undergraduate text, minimum of Calculus II necessary)

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

By David Griffiths

I would definitely recommend "In Search of Schrodinger's Cat" I have read it about 6 times and its a great book.
