Ask HN: Best (e)Book about Cryptography

In the last few weeks I was looking for a (e)book about Cryptography that covers the basics and at least some advanced topics. The problem is... it seems a book like that does not exist or at least I am not capable to find it. I have found a lot of books about the history of cryptography but without studies on real applications, some with a very deep math analysis but very poor on the rest, some other that focus only on examples without giving any information about how basic things works, and so on... I think here on HN I am not the only one really interested on this argument so maybe someone already went that way and has some to share: Do you know any good resource, book or ebook about the argument that is not just a "very partial" treaty and that is well suited for a CS student?
