It's not the sole focus of the book, but I recall "A Universe From Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss mentioning it a couple of times, particularly in the case that only that set of elements in exactly those proportions leads to the Big Bang as the primary theory of how it all began.
"The Story of Earth: The First 4.5 Billion Years, from Stardust to Living Planet" by Robert M. Hazen has a chapter about genesis of elements ( big bang, star formation, supernovae, planet formation, etc).
