Reader rating
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. A text you study rather than simply read. It assumes more background than a beginner might have.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Happy enough with the purchase.
This edition finally does the material justice. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in.
