1. Grokking Deep Learning (Andrew W. Trask) and Neural Networks and Deep Learning (Michael Nielsen) 2. I'll probably be off-point here, but maybe The Book of Why (Judea Pearl) could be interesting reading for you. FloydHub has a great article about this topic on their blog: https://blog.floydhub.com/best-deep-learning-books-updated-f... (https://blog.floydhub.com/best-deep-learning-books-updated-for-2019/).

Seems like 'Deep Learning' [0] might suit for your first type of book. For the second type of book, may I suggest 'The Book of Why' by Judea Pearl. It isn't focused specifically on deep learning, but it is focused philosophical and cross disciplinary applications of statistical techniques. disclaimer: I haven't really dug in to deep learning, so I'll wager there may be great resources I'm completely unaware of.
