Here's Looking at Euclid: A Surprising Excursion Through the Astonishing World of Math by Alex Bellos

4.0

---

This is a fascinating book about math for the lay person. Bellos uses history, interesting stories, trivia, and tricks to shine a spotlight on one of the basic tools of modern life. As the book says, "Abstract mathematical thought is one of the great achievements of the human race and arguably the foundation for all human progress."
