kenjariMusic in India: The Classical Traditions
by Bonnie C. Wade
I've been reconnecting with my love of Indian classical music lately, and decided to do some reading on the subject to help me better understand how the music works. Wade's book is very much written for western audiences who are interested in Indian music. A reasonable amount of knowledge of western music theory is assumed. Wade does a good job of explaining raga and tala to the reader, and uses comparisons to western music that are helpful without implying any hierarchy between the two.
