My favorite intro to Maxwell’s equations is here: http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1420.html
There’s almost no math at all, the emphasis is on the physical meaning of each equation. But it also touches on the sheer wonder of discovery.

Great site. Thanks, Elwood!
I used to have a t-shirt with a version of Maxwell’s equations on it. I just Googled “maxwell’s equations t-shirt” and found a bunch of references. I’m going to have to buy a new one. :)
