Effective C++ : 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs (3rd Edition)

Yes, but it assumes you already know C++. It is commonly referred to as "the first second book for C++ programmers". Make sure you understand the language before delving into Meyers' books. They are not tutorials.
If you really want to learn the hows, the whats, and the whys of C++, read Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++". Both volumes.
