I'd recommend the Minizinc Tutorial for a practical introduction with a nice DSL. Constraint Processing by Rina Dechter is a great intro with a more academic bent. I'd say mathematical modeling has been Ops Research's greatest success, and I'd definitely recommend Model Building with Mathematical Programming…
