Title: Gamma : Exploring Euler's constant

Author : Julian Havil

Short description: Provides a fascinating history of a constant that doesn't get nearly as much attention as $e$ or $\pi$. Definitely has more math than most books intended for a general audience but I feel the book is accessible to those who persevere with it. And the reward is lots and lots of beautiful mathematics.
