Classic Textbook - Mrs Rob - Illinois
This is the book you need if you want to understand the WHY behind the HOW. It is especially insightful when trying to wrap your brain around what each TOPOLOGICAL realtionship looks like.

It is a little dry and theorhetical, but very extensive and from a classroom standpoint is a MUST in my mind.
