Reviews
The organization and format of the book works well for my particular use, it builds nicely and is broken into logical sections similar to coursework taught at our college. The book is broad and thorough enough for readers to explore deeper into a given area if necessary. This book is one that I would recommend to others and it is currently the text used for two of our core first-year courses. Furthermore, students are encouraged to keep this text for use and reference during their second year as it is relevant for other coursesa]All in all, this book is a remarkable accomplishment.
