 Newton and the Counterfeiter by Thomas Levenson was a book I enjoyed a lot. Between revolutionizing mathematics and physics, his exploits with alchemy, his work regarding optics and discrediting fellow members of the RS, Newton had another little job, reforming the unsustainable and nearly bankrupt British Mint and with it the whole way money making and especially counterfeit protection worked until then.

What's a good, readable book on the historical bible (OT/Jewish bible mainly)? About how and when the different parts were written and rewritten, how and why certain books developed the way they did, why things were left in or discarded, how it fits with the development of peoples and their god view in the general area.
