any recommendations ?Air enters the front, it's compressed in stages and eventually fuel is sprayed, ignitors (spark plugs) light it off and it accelerates out the rear.
Thats about as simplified as it gets. If you need more information than you obviously aren't pursuing a career as a pilot. You are probably looking at designing turbine engines

Definitely agree with this 100%. My edition is old, but the newer ones have all sorts of pack-in options (CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.) I can't speak to the quality of any of that, but if it's cut from the same cloth as the book itself, it'll be excellent.

any recommendations ?The Jet Engine by Rolls Royce is much more in depth, but still not engineering language.
