I read this book for my exercise-339 class. I've had a hard time understanding some concepts of this book, for whole class was online this semester. But I'm glad that I finished the course, and the book too. As a textbook, this is not that good. It is used very professional language(or I would say academic, health science language) and it makes it hard to understand regular students like me. Most of the assignments or tasks on the book require physical presence to do that which was frustrating as online study. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book as textbook for the class.
