Above most other books I have found this book to be by far the best for the following:

1) Interpretation and representation of complex and "new" ideas.
2) Use of "simple english" where others allow their descriptions to become over complex.
3) Use of diagrams.

This book is easy reading and information packed. It also comes with a handy CD that allows you to follow through key principles and ideas put forward at cetain stages of the book.

A must have for any analytical chemist.
