Something not requiring multivariable calculus.
I recently read "Immune!" by Phillip Detmer about the human immune system. Is there anything at a similar level to that that you would recommend?
Basics of electricity start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyMmRRIB5yw
It glosses briefly over the mathematical parts with advanced-for-the-time animations that may or may not be instructive.
It's not the course handbook (there are many) and doesn't have any heavy math (aside from a few descriptive relationships) but it does a helicopter overview of the concepts that would be covered in a course that is fundemental to both electrical (grid | household | industrial) and electronic (circuits, sensors, computers) engineering.
If you skim through that you'll have an idea of what interests you and what to further ask about.

It makes basic electronics very intuitive.
Once you are more comfortable with the basics, the usual next recommendation is Horowitz & Hill's Art of Electronics. For that, you do want the newest edition. This ia an incredible book but it will be far too much to deal with at first, so I'd strongly suggest starting with the ARRL Handbook.
Look around for an older edition of the ARRL Handbook (no need to spend a lot on a newer copy, based on what you're asking.)
