Looking for good general programming books

[Drakkon]

I am finding myself in a position lately where i am forgetting from time to time my more complex algorthms and what i can use out there. Things like quicksorts, heaps, etc, things you dont use day to day that can be very useful in certain situations.
I picked up the O'REilly C one last ngiht and although it has some great interpretations, the code is all in C and not much psudocode is given thus its hard to tell whats going on (its been that long since C, doing more programming now in Actionscript/Java).

So company will buy books and thus need some suggestions for good books to look into that have more "general" approaches to algorithms. Things like all the different types fo sorts, path/graphing alorithms, searching functions, etc.

Algorithms in C++ ? There is also a C variant. Full of real code, not just psuedocode.

thats exactly what i dont want. i want something language non-specific so i can have a buncha psuedocode to pour over and write the algorithms in ANY language

Yes, but there is no better reference than Sedgewick's Algorithm's in C++. You can always translate the basic principles into another language.
