Can some please suggest an easy-to-read/understand book on data envelopment analysis (DEA) for the beginners that explains the usages/interpretation of various DEA models without providing the mathematical details. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks,
I've learn the DEA approach by reading attached book. I hope it helps you also.

Good lack :)
In addition to Łukasz Brzezicki reply, I would suggest the following:
Chapter Data Envelopment Analysis: History, Models, and Interpretations
Chapter 3 from The Measurement of Productive Efficiency and Productivity Growth (Article The Measurement of Productive Efficiency
)
I found this book very usefull, especially for biggeners. Check CH5 & 7.
Book Measuring Efficiency in Health Care
Try:
