Book reviews about math and science history?

Hello,

Does anyone here recommend any books about the history of the people and scientific/mathematical discoveries of the Age of Enlightenment in Europe?

My friend is looking to learn more about world history, and we are both math PhD students, so I recommended learning about 20th century Europe, which is my favorite period to learn about, but she wanted to learn about the 16-1800s so I recommended learning about specifically scientists and mathematics in that time, but I don’t know any books about that.

Can anyone help me help her?
