Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning by Aleksandrov, Kolmogorov, and Lavrent'ev http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Content-Methods-Meaning-Dover/dp/0486409163 http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Content-Methods-Meaning-Do... Covers something like three years of an undergraduate degree in mathematics. Lots of words - but that text is used to develop an understanding of the concepts and images. Considered a masterpiece. An enjoyable read.
