This is an amazing Theory book, very easy to read and go through with students. As the title says, it is a concise way of reviewing theory which I've found very useful instead of having a lot of text of information that I'll end up forgetting because of the lack of practicality. It has boxes with relevant information of things that you must know, and it's color coded for easy use.
