The Lazy Universe: An Introduction to the Principle of Least Action
Coopersmith, Jennifer (Honorary Research Associate, Honorary Research Associate, La Trobe University, Australia)
The Principle of Least Action underlies all physics and leads into quantum mechanics and Einstein's Relativity. There are some textbooks that do the calculations, and one book with nice pictures, but no book (before this one) that explains what 'action' is, and why nature follows this principle.
