Yes, those are good books as well. Another very good one on conductors is Norman LeBrecht's The Maestro Myth. Many people are turned off by the opinions expressed by Lebrecht early on in the book, however whether you agree with him or not on that, what follows in the rest of the book is actually a very good survey of famous conductors, and who studied with who, or was influenced by who, etc. I would think that quite a few on this board would be interested in that.
