Read for school. I am giving it a 4 star just because it is played out as an outline instead of straight trading of paragraphs. This was good and bad. It made reading for school easier but it fell to elaborate on some of the areas, as much as I would have liked.

For the sake of studying again. Very good, with lots of practical, concise and evidence-based information.
