As a learning guide, this book is well-researched and comprehensive and has used the effective formatting of commencing each chapter with an itemized list of learning goals while the texts are organized in short paragraphs that are strategically interspersed with boxes, sketches, figures and graphs, presented in contrasting but subtle colour coding.
