Learning hydraulics...

[HiTechTed]

Does anybody have a suggestion on what book(s) or other information I can use to learn about hydraulics? Something where I could learn terminology, up through basic "circuits," how valves and pumps work, what different valves do, etc.

I'm fairly mechanically inclined and the math doesn't scare me. I've just never been exposed to hydraulics in the past and now I'd like to learn about it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Here is a couple sources I like:

Army Hydraulic Manual

Principles of Hydraulics

The Army one is pretty good, I downloaded it and read through some of it (thanks for the links). To some of you I know it's old news but you have to start somewhere, right?!
