Great Science & Mathematics Books

My recommendations for the
    best in science writing

Over the years I have reviewed dozens of science books for various newspapers, and as part of my job I am reading science books all the time. This section lists some of my favourites

The books are organised acccording to the following categories: 
  mathematics
  science
  cryptography
  fiction about science or mathematics 
  books for younger readers.

There are also special categories, such as Steve Jones's recommendations.
