Hello all,
I'm looking for books pertaining to robotics education/learning. Does anyone know of any they'd recommend?

Particularly, I'm interested in entry-level to mid-level books on the topics of mechanics and electronics. (More mid-level I suppose. Something more than just the basics.)

In terms of mechanics I'm looking for something that would discuss basic mechanical mechanisms/linkages, gear ratios, and possibly even things like gear box design. As for electronics, I'm looking for something that would discuss motor control circuits (including stepper motors) and basic microcontroller/processor use.

Do such books exist?
Anyone have any favorites they are willing to share?

Thanks.
