1 + 1 = 2 But where does it come from
Hope someone can help. I have a sudden urge to read about the history if mathematics. Now, I am no Einstein nor would I want to become one.

I have read previously "The Parrots Theorem" by Denis Guedj and enjoyed it but want to know more.

I am still reading "Science - A History 1543-2001" by John Gribbin. This is very informative and I love reading it but as I have it as pBook and it weighs too much I only read small sections of it - hence it takes so long.

So, want book do I want - I am looking for recommendations for books about the history of mathematics, outlining where they come from, what it is about. At this stage I am not so much interested in books about specific maths, more the general kind.
