Recommended books in mathematics and physics



   There are certain books in the fields of mathematics and 
   physics that I have found to be particularly good in the way of 
   exposition, explanation, providing insight and understanding 
   into basic ideas and concepts.  For the sake of those of my 
   readers who are interested in these fields I present some of 
   them. I have put an asterisk in front of those that I consider 
   especially outstanding.
