Your favorite book (genre: STEM )?

Taking inspiration from this thread: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-8315.html .

What is the book related to STEM subjects that you prefer the most?

Mine is in Italian (from French works). "Manuale di Matematica. Faure, Kaufmann, Denis-Papin" (Handbook of Mathematics) . I saw it once in the main library of my previous city. That library was full of books related to human sciences, very interesting, but once I was looking for math books (not many were there) and I see this one, half ignored, on a very isolated shelve. I checked it and I realized it is exactly what I wanted as "summary of mathematics that I'd like to know".

So I set a quest to find a copy (there were not many copies printed. The book has editions from 1971, 1973 and 1975. I got the 1971 edition). I found one for 43 euro (there are still some online).

Since then it is my most precious book about STEM subjects.
