[Joseph Dougherty · Rating 4 out of 5]

An oddly laid-out book, but I respect Dr. Schwartz's iconoclastic approach! There are effectively two voices you can pay attention to on almost every page. His liberal use of sidebars is intended to make the technical aspects of the text more accessible, but in my opinion the end result suffers from too much visual noise.

The content is very much in line with his original text with some additional exercise ideas for practitioners of certain sports.
