Cool! Thanks for the link. I've not read that book, but it looks very interesting and related. It great to see others' perspective on math as a human construction.
Another book on the topic of history of mathematics is "Journey Through Mathematics" by Enrique Gonzalez-Velasco. From its back cover:
"This book offers an accessible and in-depth look at some of the most important episodes of two thousand years of mathematical history. Beginning with trigonometry and moving on through logarithms, complex numbers, infinite series, and calculus, this book profiles some of the lesser known but crucial contributors to modern day mathematics."
