Here's a great new site, created by Thomas Zuber, for learning PS 
basics like histograms and curves, relative to photography:

http://www.zuberphotographics.com/page_PSTopics.htm


Deeper in the site, Zuber describes his digital version of the zone 
system (my description) called the Tone Management System: 
http://www.zuberphotographics.com/page_TMSIntro.htm.

His explaination is very near to how A.Adams might the zone system:

"To give me a systematic, predictive approach to creating B&W images 
that allowed the maximum control over tone in order to create the 
image I visualized."


It's a very interesting workflow process and a good read.
