Check out the works of Paul Wilmott, which include textbooks and a magazine of the same name which is (or at least used to be) the most expensive magazine subscription there is.
For finance in general, I recommend "Corporate Finance" by Berk & de Marzo or the CFA study material, which is quite accessible (at least for Level 1).
