SUPERB SURVEY AND INVALUABLE REFERENCE BOOK

I am enrolled in a masters program where this is an assigned text for an elective. After having been force-fed literally hundreds of readings from hundreds of books - this book stood out as the only text that I purchased. It is a fantastic, impartial, overview which includes great illustrations and charts. It is equally rewarding to read straight through, only the parts that interest you or as a handy reference.

A good textbook and/or information source.

This is a very informative, "chunky" book. Excellent pictures and charts! A book worth having!
