This is the book I'm currently reading. I guess that's not so interesting a comment, but it's an old and pretty niche book so I'm surprised to see it mentioned on HN today. Anyway I agree Strogatz does a good job. He's both telling a good story and he also explains more of the mathematical ideas than a lot of books for popular audiences. He also has a podcast that's worth checking out.
