Stanley R. Pliska, "Introduction to Mathematical Finance: Discrete Time Models"

and, in continuous time

Darrell Duffie, "Dynamic Asset Pricing Theory"

I always used to say "Understanding Organisations" by Charles Handy, although it's a little dated now with the last version being published in 2005. I still think it's got a lot going for it, so might be worth you checking it out....
