I enjoyed E, the Story of a Number:

Heck, I just like e.
I can post a few links from some books about numbers. I haven't read a few of them, but the history of some numbers like phi, pi, zero... all of them are fascinating.
Those six are all the history of the five most important constants in mathematics. If you're looking for the history of some of the most brilliant minds in mathematics, I'm afraid I haven't the resources or expertise to help you out.
Here's a book you might enjoy. Well worth twelve bucks. Plenty of great material here for a paper.
