How is the Bible split up into books chapters and verses?

The books of the Bible are just that: books or letters written independently of one another that were accumulated together over time. The chapters and verses, aside from selected books, were subdivisions added later by monks, if I remember correctly. The main exception to this was Psalms, where each chapter was originally written as a separate song and therefore only the verse divisions were added later.
