I recently acquired a copy of my old friend Clifford Pickover's new tome, The Math Book , a really attractive and reasonably priced volume with 250 full page color illustrations, each illustration accompanied by a single-page description.
In Pickover's words, "My goal in writing The Math Book is to provide a wide audience with a brief guide to important mathematical ideas and thinkers, with entries short enough to digest in a few minutes."
