Used Book in Good Condition
For a fun read, I love The Disappearing Spoon.
For a while, I've been meaning to read Salt which is another fun read.
I also just love the Periodic Table of Videos YouTube channel for other fun stuff.
Textbook-wise, you can't beat Stumm and Morgan or Metcalf and Eddy for your water chemistry/water treatment needs.
Metcalf & Eddy is the bible of wastewater treatment
What kind of wastewater?
For non industrial:
Get some modeling software like Biowin or GPSX and read about the Activated Sludge Model.
The EPA has detailed design documents from everything from activated sludge to the diffused aeration system which highlight best practices.
The Metcalf and Eddy text on wastewater is the best around. Ask your boss to get you a copy: https://www.amazon.com/Wastewater-Engineering-Treatment-Resource-Recovery/dp/0073401188
It's a huge process, but being a CHEG, all of the concepts will come naturally to you once you start piecing it together. Start with Secondary Aeration - it's the heart of the process.
I assume you are working under a PE (because design work frequently needs a PE stamp). You should not only have a boss to answer to but a mentor to bounce ideas off of when you find yourself struggling with concepts. It's one thing to struggle with a concept to achieve mastery, it's another to struggle with a sense of scope and understanding of the problem.
