It sounds like you worry that this might be sort of crankish, but Marcus du Sautoy is a respected expositor, and a professor of mathematics at Oxford. In fact, according to Wikipedia, his title is "Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science", so it's hard to think of a person who, in title at least, is better qualified to offer this sort of exposition.
