This book is actually one of the text books for David Frawleys online Jyotish course which we have done and found it to be a solid foundation in the subject. The book is refered to in the course and it covers the main topics of Jyotish as expounded by Rshi Parashara in a concise maner. It is also written from a Western mind perspective so bridges East-West nicely as it gives one a balanced introduction to the subject of Vedic Astrology. The beauty of this book is the complete way it goes through the subject of Jyotish covering the planets, the signs and the most common ways of understanding the aspects in our birth charts.
