Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Recommended with reservations.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
I keep coming back to this one. You can tell why this work has endured. Still worth having on the shelf.
This edition finally does the material justice. A text you study rather than simply read. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Recommended with reservations.
