yes, 
Data Communications Computer Networks and Open Systems, by Fred
Halsall
Addison Wesley, 
make sure you get the 3rd edition (1992)
ISBN 0 201 56506 4
 
its very clear, very up to date, un-partisan and yopu can even get the
overhead transparencies

for a more implementation oriented book (but assumes a lot of
pre-knowledge) the Open Book by mtr is the best
as mentioned by others
