Reviews

[Louise · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wish it focused more on teaching what we need to know and less on citing every article on the subject. Very dense, short descriptions of squib cases and lots of citations detracted from the pedagogical value of a textbook.

From a class taught by one of the most dynamic and determined teachers I've ever met. R.I.P Dr. Bryner...we'll keep championing the environment in your memory.
