From the reviews of the 1st edition: The main intention of the present book is to familiarise the reader with the algebra and calculus within the Clifford bundle formalism ... . The text is written in a very readable manner and is complemented with plenty of worked-out exercises which are in the style of extended examples. ... From my personal point of view, the authors elegantly succeed in their ambitions and, in my opinion, their book could also serve as a textbook for graduate students in physics or mathematics.
