Same boat. I've spent a lot of time learning about permaculture, soil science, etc. I found "Teaming with Microbes" by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis to be right at the level I needed - not so deeply into the weeds that it;s boring, not so surface that I don;t actually learn anything. This book is the first in a series, and it does an excellent job in addressing the exact topics you mention above: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008K8HACU/ref=kinw_myk_ro_title https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008K8HACU/ref=kinw_myk_ro... I think from there you'd have a sense of the topics you'd want to pursue and should have enough knowledge to be able to use the right search terms to find it.
