Physics for Future Presidents is a great book - my wife gave her a copy last spring. I don't know if my daughter finished it but I know she said she found it interesting. We have the the math books you mentioned but I haven't heard about the others before. Animals in Translation and Fifty-Nine Story Crisis look really good. Thanks for the reference!

- "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" by Robert C. Martin - "Physics for Future Presidents" by Richard Muller Not really a book but I found the "MIT Guide to Lock Picking" an interesting read.
