A good biography with a lot of physics, or a great book on quantum physics with biographies of Feynman and Wheeler. Take your pick, this is pretty readable - though probably not for the beginner.

The author is a professor of physics, and interviewed one of the two principals in the book. His way of describing particle and quantum physics is smooth, especially in historical context. The early interactions of these two giants led to where we are today, and their continued contact influenced both. Chapters are nicely sectioned, though perhaps the section titles end up a little too cute ("Diet of Worms" for the section where wormholes were first theorized, for instance).

I was favorably reminded of Isaacson's [b:The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution|21856367|The Innovators How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution|Walter Isaacson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1410191571l/21856367.SY75.jpg|41129225], which emphasized the creative impact of collaboration. This team of physicists discovered and dreamed more than most, and creativity is part of the most impactful discoveries. A decent index, good notes and further reading all help with cross reference. There are a few photos but no diagrams - search engines are your friend here. Recommended.
