I recommend the Mathematics Survival Guide of Professor James Martino of The Johns Hopkins University Mathematics Department.
A very interesting site on the World Wide Web is the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive at St. Andrews University in Aberdeen, Scotland. Here you will find biographies of hundreds of mathematicians.
Cincinnati celebrated the Big Pig Gig last year. One artistic endeavor reminds me of the disk method of computing volumes. Check it out.
