I'm sure it's a great book :).
I find good popular books on higher mathematics difficult to come by. A nice exception is the trilogy written by Avner Ash and Robert Groß:
Elliptic Tales, Fearless Symmetry and Summing it up (in my order of preference)
Sorry for the stupid question but is Elliptic Tales your favorite or is it Summing it up?
Terence Tao: Just a brief announcement that I have been working with Quanta Books to publish a short book in popular mathematics entitled “Six Math Essentials“, which will cover six of the fundamental concepts in mathematics.
Is this Terry's 17th book?
