For the popular audience, I would recommend The Mathematical Brain by Brian Butterworth [http://www.mathematicalbrain.com/] and quite probably one of Dehaene's books, like The Number Sense [http://www.amazon.com/The-Number-Sense-Creates-Mathematics/dp/0199753873].
For a general overview of the field, I would also recommend anything by Roi Cohen Kadosh, who has done a number of interviews/articles for newspapers and magazines (http://cohenkadosh.psy.ox.ac.uk/press-coverage-of-our-work).
Sorry, but that's not really accurate. I spend a year working in a neuroscience lab researching arithmetic cognition, and it's pretty well established that animals have an inborn sense of numerical magnitude. I would recommend taking a look at Stanislas Dehaene's book The Number Sense.
Deheane's The Number Sense: How the Mind Creates Mathematics is a popular introduction to the cognitive science behind ordinary/everyday mathematical thinking. It will be interesting to see what you come up with!
