[Bryan · Rating 3 out of 5]

This easy read is an enjoyable one and takes little time to finish. I bought it to add to my classroom studies and used most of the material mentioned in his legacy chapter as part of my Masters work research. Beneficial but not a touchstone text on modern theory when compared to the works of Ecker or Stocher.
