I found this book to be excellent:

I have a strong programming background but not such a strong maths background. I found the book to be technical (explaining the different ciphers, different modes, etc) without dwelling on the maths. The first section seemed a little slow but I was glad that I read it because it was all relevent later on
Everyday Cryptography
I've only just become interested in cryptography, thanks to all the NSA "news" I guess. So far, I'm really enjoying the book: Everyday Cryptography by Keith M. Martin!.
It is a nice intro, full of references and further reading and even has exercises to help you really understand the subject. It is light on math, so not for serious crypto-freaks I guess.

I found this book quite useful for explaining crypto and its practical applications in your everyday life.
I am a self-taught security guy so I was familiar with how things worked but this book really explained how they worked scientifically which I found awesome.
