I don't know about the imperfections, but is still quite a valuable read.



Courant and Robbins, What is Mathematics?



a reference book, too dense to read as a text



Davis and Hersh, The Mathematical Experience



They don't have to read the entire text of either of these. Let them peruse and pick out what interests them. With the same instructions, we should throw in

Newman, ed., The World of Mathematics.
