I recently bought Alex in numberlansld. Quite an interesting book. Also try What is mathematics? The book helped Einstein to grasp math concepts.

The authors of "What is Mathematics" are Richard Courant and Herbert Robbins. This one is good as well: "Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning" by Aleksandrov, Kolmogorov and Lavrent'ev (Dover publications). It's a big book covering a wide amount of topics.
