Great content from different authors.

[Irish · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has chapters written by different authors therefore the content depends on how well each author wrote. The writing is mostly formal , yet speaks at you while being informative. The first chapter was fairly repetitive with the word 'however,'. Luckily the other sections were written expertly. There are pictures and the research is present and not bias. That is a good thing , but it can get confusing if you just want a strait answer. The other thing is a lot of the reading is quite dry. Nevertheless this is a good book and it has a lot of subjects to choose from .
