I'm looking for a book (or other media) which provides an overview of statistics that is both comprehensive (covering all the basic/intermediate concepts) and comprehensible (which, for me, means not being weighed down with unnecessary and especially un-introduced mathematical symbology).

Can anyone offer suggestions?
