An Introduction to Database Systems C.J. Date ISBN: 0201385902

A textbook explaining the relational model in great detail, and written by a well-known relational database commentator. New editions of this book are regularly released every two or three years, so the ISBN might be out of date; the ISBN is for the seventh edition, but you should check if there's a newer one. (On the other hand, old editions are still perfectly readable and useful, and likely can be found much more cheaply.)

Database Management Systems Raghu Ramakrishnan and Johannes Gehrke ISBN: 0072465638 McGraw-Hill

A textbook on database concepts (relational algebra, entity-relationship modelling), programming (SQL), implementation (files, indices, hashes, query optimization, transactions), and "advanced concepts" (distributed databases, data mining, object-databases). This book is an alternative to Date's book.
