David (Dr Dave) G. Alciatore’s book The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards explains what happens on the pool table from a scientific or engineering perspective. By explaining the underlying forces, the cause and effect of where balls go and why, Dr Dave will enable you to understand pool at a fundamental level.

Hopefully that didn’t scare you off, because this book is written for ordinary people in plain and clear language. I wish there were such lucid explanations for everything else in the world.
