Welcome aboard
This book as reviewed here https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/book-...k-beginner-to-breeder-by-martin-a-moe-jr.642/ looks like a good one.
The problem with books is that they can end up out of date pretty quickly as the pace of technology and development of new methods can be pretty rapid.

Wow! Thanks, everyone for the warm welcome and help!
Regarding books, I prefer books for it is something to publish another to post.
I wish to understand marine keeping, not just practice correct 'husbandry.' I still don't understand the processes which occur in a marine tank. For it is a very small 'essentially' closed system. The areas I am looking for more information into are things that really don't change. Bacteria, Fish, inverts, Nems, and Corals still thrive in certain parameters and still grow the same way in a tank and in the ocean - ideally that is. I am not looking for a 'how-to' per se because as mentioned by @OllieNZ, @samnaz, and @rkpetersen that equipment certainly changes and there are fads, such as under-gravel filters. But as I so far I understand, please correct me if I am wrong, biological processes essentially don't change.
I hope the above makes sense!
Thank you @samnaz for your suggestions!
P.S. I am still trying to figure out how to use my phone's camera to take good macro shots!
