I like The Algorithm Design Manual[0] by Steve Skiena. He actually discovered that students fared better with real code (written in C) as opposed to pseudo-code.

This book is great, but could be overwhelming depending on how much you exposure you have to similar material. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I particularly enjoyed the war stories.

This is one of my favourite technical books. Great combination of explaining the fundamentals and also examining specific cases in depth.
