I read this on recommendation from Marc Leroy’s popular online photography class. While I did black and white photography in school, and developed photos in the dark room - this book has the best explanation I’ve read on how cameras photographic process works, and how the various settings like shutter speed, ISO and aperture work together.

This is a textbook so it has fairly shallow coverage of many topics related to photography. Having picked up photography in bits and pieces throughout the last few years, some parts were really useful and other parts more review. You could probably get a lot of the same information without reading a full textbook, but if you enjoy reading textbooks, getting the wide perspective this book gives is useful.
The one thing I have mixed feelings about is that, since this is an older edition of this text, it covered both digital and film photography. The sections on film photography were interesting, but I mostly skimmed them because, realistically, I'm never actually going to do it.
