Hi,

Here are some books that I found useful:



For beginners:



"Mobile Robots: Inspiration to Implementation"

This book is outdated, but since it covers general information at the
beginner's level, it is still relevant. You can find used copies of the
first edition (ISBN 1568810113) and the second edition
(ISBN 1568810970) at Amazon.com. (That's how I got my copy).

"Robotic Explorations: A Hands-On Introduction to Engineering"

This book uses Lego, but it contains mostly general information that is
applicable to any robot. I think that many schools may be using this book.
(I don't own a copy: I just borrowed this from my local library.)

"Robotics with the Boe-Bot", and "Applied Robotics with the SumoBot"

These books are free to download from Parallax.
They focus on the Parallax robots, but also cover
plenty of general information that is useful.

For intermediate people:



"An Introduction to AI Robotics"

This book covers A.I. for robots at a general level that is easy to understand.
(I also just borrowed this one.)

For advanced folks:



"Probabilistic Robotics"

Well, I'm not advanced, so I haven't actually read this one.  ;)
But someone recommended this to me as one of the better
"modern" robot books. It's co-written by the leader of the team
that won the DARPA Grand Challenge.

Dr_Worm:
I would like to recommend "Programming in C, Third Edition" By Stephen G. Kochan, It provides a very easy to follow way to learn C and it tests you at the end of each chapter to make sure you weren't skimming or somehow forgot what you read five minutes ago . ;)

Also on a side note this book is more for the Linux/Unix user as it calls for the use of the terminal.
