Though unlikely for such a technical topic, is there a book on measure theory (and/or Lebesgue integration) for the casual learner? I am especially interested in the history: the motivation behind the theory, how it came to be, why mathematicians felt they needed some other tool, and how it was developed. Easy examples that would make a self-learner "tick" would be great.
