Books or textbooks to read before S&T internship

Hello! I will be doing a summer internship at a BB in their S&T program. This program includes rotations, and I anticipate focusing mainly on the trading and structuring desks within both FICC and Equities. I am a natural science major at a target school and have minimal knowledge in finance/economics. I'm eager to familiarize myself with the field so I don't walk into the trading room completely unprepared. Could anyone recommend any good books or textbooks to read before the internship starts?

I've already read classics like "Liar's Poker" and "The Big Short," but now I'm looking for more substantial material that directly relates to the work I'll be doing.
