Though informative, this book is highly repetitive and doesn't present the information in a manner that is conducive to learning. I did pick up a few things as I read, but the compilation fails to accomplish it's objective, which is to teach well.

[Kelly Ann Meegan]

The book itself is large and with a soft cover is not good for traveling. The book itself is good it explains things thoroughly if you need to know about the specific topics of the book, unfortunately for the class I am taking the book itself was not a paired well. This is no reflection on the authors.
