Best book on . . .

I'm writing this post for myself, as a control-shift-meta-hyper-bookmark.

Aaron Swartz recently invited his blog readers to tell him about . . .
books which a) try to explain a whole subject with b) clarity and even joy while making c) no strong assumptions of prior knowledge and d) not dumbing the subject down. It's an extremely rare combination
One commenter noted that Metafilter has actually done this already.

Link to Aaron's posting (and contributions from his readers).

Link to Metafilter's rather awesome list.
