Science Intro Textbooks

Greetings /sci/,

I am currently organizing my recreational science studies (I am an expert in Economics and Social Sciences, this is what I officially study). I tend to catagorize my recreational science studies somthing like this: (1) Physics (2) Chemistry (3) Biology (4) Astronomy , and all of these have sub-catagories.

As far as I can see, this covers all science. I am going to my campus bookstore tomorrow to see if they have any good books on for sale, however I figured I would relate my conundrum to /sci/ so all can benefit.

What are good science intros for University level students who enjoy recreational science studies ? Of course, to become a polymath, to become a real life Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Davinci, or Philosopher King ?
