Any Good Books on History of Math?

[bballwaterboy]

I'm wondering if there are any good books for a semi-layperson (I study math in school, but at a low level right now), which detail the history of math. I'd be interested in knowing:

Major Names (such as Euclid)
Major Developments in Ideas (such as how calculus was created, how algebra came about, etc.)

...but all of which was written in a way that a layperson could decently understand (say with a high school math education). Do any such books exist?

My school uses this textbook for its history of mathematics class:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0023182857/?tag=pfamazon01-20

It appears to be available used for 16$, if you're looking for a textbook. I've never read it, but you may want to check it out.
