Descriptive Diesel Engine Guide

Hello, i have been basically living on the forums for the past 2 weeks now reading everything i can on diesel engines. i was wondering if anyone would know where i could find a fairly descriptive book or guide that could take me through the different parts of the modern diesel. I want to learn much more about the engine and i want to try to learn more of the inner working of the engine.
