I doubt you'll find one that will really cover both subjects adequately,
since they're totally different languages.  The only thing I can think
of that comes close is the "little language" books, that give a brief
summary of a wide variety of "little," high-level languages.  The one
I'm familiar with (though I don't own it) is _HPL: Little Languages and
Tools_ by Salus (editor).
