I'm almost finished "the little book of string theory" (pbook!), and I'm enjoying it, but am simultaneously frustrated and glad about the lack of any mathematics in the description. Now my maths is, shall we say, very rusty, but it used to be pretty good.

So here is the challenge: any recommendations for good physics theory books (not just string theory, indeed preferably other theories as well) that includes mathematical descriptions, but where the maths works gently up from the basics?
