Nifty Math Notions by Charles L Silver

This is a charming garden-path survey of many big names and big ideas in the history of mathematics, replete with funny anecdotes, delightful puzzles, and challenging problems that will help you understand logic, math, and the world around you as never before. It will be read by puzzlers, thinkers, and, hopefully, students. Like works by Martin Gardner or Raymond Smullyan, Nifty Math Notions offers plenty of amusing brainteasers. But it's also a selective history, meant to offer young and older readers a treasury of great ideas and to expose them to many new and old ways to solve common (and not so common) problems.
