Your link got me to purchase the current version of that book and Introduction to Space Dynamics. I'm working through the latter, though, as I found Bate's book completely beyond me–though good reading for the bit I did. Intro to Space Dynamics is proving very difficult, but I'm at least making some progress and feel like I have a chance at understanding it.
In short, thank you!
Sure!
This first one is the one I like the best:
Fundamentals of Astrodynamics
Spaceflight Dynamics: Third Edition
Introduction to Space Dynamics
They're all heavy on equations and there's a lot of overlap among them. I found the first one, Fundamentals of Astrodynamics, to be the most approachable.
And if that's too much for you, the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is a great stick.
Spaceflight Dynamics by Wiesel has a section on optimal gravity turns if you're interested in the math. What it boils down to is you perform a very small angle turn as you leave the launchpad and then follow your prograde until you're in orbit. The math is in figuring out what that angle should be for your desired orbit. I read that book as a library loan, but I can look up my notes if you want more details.
I am amazed that they are selling that 970 for almost the same price of a 1070.

1070 https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6173-KR/dp/B01GX5YWAO/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1478474552&sr=1-1&keywords=gtx+1070
This book is quite useful and understandable with a bit of reading: https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Astrodynamics-Dover-Aeronautical-Engineering/dp/0486600610/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524583559&sr=8-1&keywords=orbital+mechanics
This seems like a fine time to share this:

It doesn't answer your question, but that was already answered.
Also there is book on the topic:
https://www.amazon.com/Project-Orion-Story-Atomic-Spaceship/dp/0805059857
That one is for a pre-order second edition coming out in July of next year, for anyone interested in the current edition you can find it here
I went through a lot of books trying to find the most basic ground up book in orbital mechanics. I recommend this author: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0486497046/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?qid=1416526070&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
