A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn (not perfect or even unbiased, but informative and shows a different perspctive. It also discusses how history is decided and recorded in great detail)
The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan (a wonderful insight on skepticism and science)

The backbone of everything was some kind of money angle.
