RSA Security's Official Guide to Cryptography
by Steve Burnett, Stephen Paine, Steve Paine

this is a very useful book that gives the reader a good introduction into the world of cryptography. it's not overy technical but mostly a beginner book. it helped me understan d some of the concepts required for a few certs.
