"Getting into Jazz Fusion" by Scott Miller is a very good intermediate introduction to exotic modes and scales, and even goes into what chords work underneath each particular mode or scale. It's quite in-depth, but extremely easy for beginners to understand too. Also you get a CD with the book that has chord progressions for every mode (e.g. Lydian, Phrygian dominant, Overtone ect..)

to suppliment the above, "Chord Chemistry" by Ted Greene is reknowned as a comprehensive study of chords and chordal progressions. It will mostly benefit the advanced player.
