This is my go-to link for any sort of C++ resources. You'll want to pay attention to the 'Beginner' section. The first book mentioned, C++ Primer is a great resource - especially since it has been updated to cover C++11, the new C++ standard. I highly recommend going through that book. You can either purchase it from the link above, or I'm sure you can find it somewhere else.
You should also know that C/C++ and C# are a little different. C/C++ languages are compiled to run natively on your computer. C#, however, is a Microsoft-developed language that compiles to something called bytecode. It's more like Java than C or C++.
Thank You for Arguing was pretty good. I'm no expert in rhetoric but I think it's an interesting subject. I had an english professor whose focus was on rhetoric, and he had us read this book.
Some of the criticisms of "What Evolution Is" by Mayr is that it doesn't go deep enough into the subject, which to me, is a good book as an introduction.
Or pick up a used Intro to Anthropology text book and note the sources they are citing and go that way.
I have two very accessible books for you. One is on Persia, the other on the life of a Roman town. Take a look!
