Books to start with :
The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing
By Steven W. Smith.
THis can be followed by a standard texbook on the subject written by Alan V Oppenheim or John G Proakis.
You must be knowing some linear algebra and knowldege of software like matlab is really advantageous.
Knowledge of a processor also helps in understanding how the whole stuff works in a DSP embedded system.
