I'm looking for a good series of books to get me into the nitty gritty of photography. I've been into photography for about a year, but have never learned all of the technical aspects of it. (F-Stops, Apetures, etc...) I'm looking for something that is easy to understand at first, butis very aplicable.

A search of Amazon for Photography turns up over ten thousand results! So I obviously need a little guidance! Lol

One series that I know is very popular is the Ansel Adams series The Camera, The Negative, The Print. I know it would be a little outdated in this digital world, but I don't even understand the basics of photography yet, so that may not be a big issue.

But maybe this series gets TOO technical for what I need at this point. Anyway, I figured what better place to ask for some advice than here!! So any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated!
