As a one-volume introductory book, I’d suggest any of the last few editions of Groover’s Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and Systems. The coverage is fairly broad, not just metalworking, and it’s written for advanced undergraduates—rigorous enough to be useful, but still accessible to non-specialists, with many figures and tables.
