"Any book recommendations on the subject....besides the one that Julie
recommended?"

I just took a class from Dr. Mikulas on Buddhism, and I believe he's written some books. Check google. If he's as good in writing as he is live, it will be detailed and relevant to today's world.
I personally have "Everyday Zen" and "The sayings of Buddha" and really like them both.

"When Things Fall Apart" by Pema Chodron.

Pema Chodron is an American Buddhist nun and her writing is very accessible
to the western mind. She has written other books also.

I was just checking in with an online class I'm taking, and saw that
there's a free class on Buddhism and Everyday Life starting in early
June. You can check it out at Barnes & Noble's site -- go to
www.bn.com then click on the B&N University tab all the way to the
right, then you can check out liberal arts classes from there. I
can't make any recommendations on this particular course as I know
absolutely nothing at all about the subject (at this point), but just
thought I'd let you know of this class, so you can see for yourself
if it's at all useful.

What I can say about the classes I've taken them is that there are
all kinds of discussions going on at the classes' messages boards, so
that even if you don't have the book(s) they're using, you can still
glean information from the conversations.

Hope this helps in some way.
