Even with great interest, you need to pretty much have a degree in math or physics to really understand/appreciate this book. Despite promises of being "accessible," this is not the book you want to pick up even if you are looking for math reading.
Cute story and series with great illustrations. Good for younger students (middle school). More from Sir Cumference, Lady Di of Ameter, Radius, etc. Radius sets off on a quest to become a knight. Thanks to training from Sir D'Grees he sets off through the Obtuse Mountains and a cute town along the way to rescuing King Lell.

Discussion of a whole new approach to scouting in MLB, started by Billy Beane. Very interesting and told like a story. Addresses the use of statistics and its impact on the old guard of scouting and evaluating. New measures now commonly used in baseball.
