I recently read mathematics for the nonmathematician. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/281821.Mathematics_for_t...
Although the math in the book is relatively basic I enjoyed it tremendously because it gives the historical development for everything and even describes the characters of different mathematicians, etc. The historical context helps so much with understanding.
Devlins book - "Mathematics: The Science of Patterns" was similar for me and you might enjoy it in addition to what you previously read.
Much better than how I was taught in my schooling.
Thanks for the recommendation, looks promising!
