The book What is Mathematics by Courant et. al. is a terrific, read, and highly recommended from generations of mathematicians. It's one of the few math books good enough to compel you to read through the whole thing.

There's also the Princeton Companion for Mathematics, which isn't out yet but is available online. It's a wonderful book.
