alt Hacker NewsI have a HAM level understanding of wireless communication and want to expand it. This book and the ones you listed seem like they'll go over my head. Any recommendations on an "101" style text book?

Try Tom McDermott's book first: https://web.tapr.org/tapr_history/WDC.DAT.N5EG.pdf -- it's not brand-new, but not much of this stuff really is.
I don't see it for sale anymore but the text is at https://dn760103.eu.archive.org/0/items/fea_Wireless_Digital... . No word on the fate of the "free disk," though.
The other recommendations you're getting are college-level texts. If McDermott's book suits your initial needs, Rick Lyons' and/or Steven W. Smith's DSP books would be a good next step.
Lesson 1: HAM is not an acronym. :)
