Not a book I would have bought for fun; however, it is better than most textbooks at explaining the subject matter. Our instructor should be applauded for choosing a book that doesn't put you to sleep.

This book was very bent out of shape, and written all over. Not just pages highlighted, but a name written in big bold letters on the cover and on the side of the book. Shipping also took very long.
