A lot of good recommendations already. Hopefully this is another, How To Read A French Fry

Covers the "physics" of deep frying, beans and some other things. Pretty cheap to obtain.

You absolutely want to get ahold of a copy of "How to Read a French Fry by Russ Parsons

It talks about the science of food and cooking in a very readable way. There's some chemistry and whatnot in there, but it is very approachable. I found after reading it, I had a much better understanding of WHY fond has flavor, or why as the title would suggest, old oil makes darker french fries or why, if you're cooking fries correctly, the potato doesn't actually have that much contact with the oil, despite being submerged (it cooks by steaming from the inside).

These are just basic examples, but like I said: my cooking as a whole really benefitted from knowing what was going on in the background.
