 For a particular audienceSep 08, 2009
By K. Ring
I have no qualms with the quality of the information in this text. However, it is important to note that it is not written like traditional textbooks for college. One really must read the entire chapter in order to be able to pick out what the author has deemed most important (he repeats several ideas). It could be a little frustrating at times to read this book as an academic text because some of the chapters are written more clearly than others. In other words, some ideas are presented well and others are a bit cloudy.
