Having just finished reading David Flanagan's "Javascript: The Definitive Guide" (5th edition), I've found that it's got the best explanation I've ever seen of the core functionality of a language.

I've looked around but most books seem to fall into one of two categories: Either the book talks about SW technologies but doesn't teach you how to use them Or the book is geared for very complex data modeling and ontology creation.
