Street-Fighting Mathematics
The Art of Educated Guessing and Opportunistic Problem Solving
Sanjoy Mahajan
Foreword by Carver A. Mead
The book is made with ConTeXt mkii
(so it's not a 100% off-topic, because we know that Sanjoy uses ConTeXt)

Saw this in the university library the other week, and almost postted
about it. I'd like to add: it is freely available avilable in PDF
(
http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/full_pdfs/Street-Fighting_Mathematics.pdf
) and (if I remember rightly) the author effusively thanks the authors
of ConTeXt (and the other free software used in the book's production)
in three different places :-).

Nice reading too (Sanjoy sent me a copy a while ago). (btw, you can also
look at

to see the author live)
