What are some examples of "visually beautiful" math texts? Are there good examples of math textbooks that seamlessly combines art, cartoon drawing or computer graphics with the texts? I know that there are a few books on the market, which are not text-book per se, that are geared towards general audience, where there are plenty of artistic figures naturally generated by the phenomena under study, usually things of geometric nature, Escher tiling, or things like chaos.
Wolfram's a New Kind of Science comes to mind. What are some other examples of "visually beautifu" or "artistic" math textbooks or texts.

How about Conway, Burgiel, and Goodman-Strauss's "The Symmetries of Things"?
It's broadly about group theory, but it takes the most stunning visual approach I've ever seen. It has lots of full page illustrations, and basically every page has a margin full of pretty pictures related to the current topic. Here's some examples:



And one more to show that this style goes all the way through the book:

It's a really breathtaking book, and the exposition is similarly well done. I'm excited to be able to share it!

I hope this helps ^_^
