Very wordy, even for a college text book. The writer's cram a ton of information in each section.

Not one of the best available, however I do enjoy reading it. Lots of information inside. Lots of nice pictures with easy to find and read captions. The layout of the book flows nicely as well.

I love that it is in paperback and not big and bulky like some of my other books.
