The Story of Mathematics by Richard Mankiewicz (2000, ISBN 0-691-08808-X)
This is a history of mathematics. It is a high level summary, probably intended for people who are not mathematics or science oriented, but are interested in learning some of the history. The book does not cover any of the details of the areas it discusses. There are lots of interesting pictures and quotes.
