This book is very suitable for those who have never seen the subject. It avoids cumbersome mathematics always when it is possible and when there is no way out, it presents in a very comprehensive way. Perfect for undergraduates.

I have two optical books on hand which is Understanding Fiber Optics and this one. For my own opinion, this one is more simple and understandable, good for anyone that graduate for a long time and forgot the basic theory.
