You are true. Digital signal processing is a large topic
an you have to understand quite much to be able to understand
the whole process.

The Scientist and Engineer's  Guide to Digital Signal Processing
by Steven W. Smith tries to take another route in describing the
sigital signal processing. That books describes most of the topics
without complicated mathematics and without hard to understand
symbols. I have read that book (I got a free copy) and it seemed
to succeed quite well in describing most of the topics in easy to
understand way. It does not tell everythign, but it is a very good
start. 

You can buy the printed version (640 Pages, Hardcover) or
you can download individual chapters or the entire book
