For calculus history, one of my earliest books I read was "Calculus wars" (https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Wars-Jason-Socrates-Bardi/dp...). This also is a essentially book about the Newton and G W Leibneiz. But, it is pretty much a deep dive into life of these two men. Highly recommended.

Another great book is "Infinite Powers" by Steven Strogatz (https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Powers-Calculus-Reveals-Univ...).

An amazing book I’ve been reading is

The author explains the history of calculus leading up to Newton’s treatise on Calculus and how important calculus is to modern life. It’s behind everything you use from cell phones to containing HIV. Highly recommended.
