I agree with the other guy! I had to bought this book for a class I'm attending. I first read the preview available for this book and I was kind of nervous to buy this book but I had no choice, it was necessary. The only thing I want to say is that book should not be consulted except if it is really necessary... There is virtually no links between the parts of chapters and even between the chapters. You never know what the author is trying to explain. The information is always partial, there is plenty of references to paliated this lack of usefull information. Nevertheless, I think that it is not to complicated to understand. This is mainly why I have deceided to give it 2 stars. I strongly not recommend this book to anyone: students, teachers and professionnals. There must be many better book out there! In fact, I don't think that any book can be worst. I haven't read all the book yet but I'm pretty sure that the last chapters won't be more exciting than the first half.
Holy cow! Over-rated! This book was horrible. It was either too complex, or much too simplistic. There was no measure of explanation on the connections between the various subjects, and no tying in of the various concepts 'learned'... This was bad... DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
