Books on general photography & nature photography
I recommend any photography books by the authors John Shaw, Michael Freeman, Jon Cox, & Tim Fitzharris.
Concepts of nature, by Andy Rouse, is an excellent wildlife photography book.
Further reading on Underwater photography
I recommend any books by Martin Edge (the underwater photographer), Howard Hall & Brian Skerry (the later edition with both Authors), and Jim Church's composition book (may be hard to find). There are many other excellent underwater photography books out there, but those were the ones most useful for me personally.
