Good books for jQuery

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any books or programs that go into depth about the concepts of JQuery . The model of the current course seems to be, build it and learn as you go. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a course/ books that explains concepts in detail, so at the end a person can build simple things from what they understand. I feel like i'm just following along but not really learning concepts that I could use to build other things on my own. I think I need more fundamental knowledge and when I have it , I feel like I could benefit more from the projects we have here. Any ideas?

JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development is a great one. It has plenty of images and examples, and goes into great detail about pretty much everything. It might be the only book on Javascript and jQuery that you need.
