This book could have been written much more effectively. It is nearly 400 pages and should have been no more than 20. Author's ideas are explained in far far too painful of detail with a great deal of redundancy. This made reading the book extremely wasteful of my time. Perhaps the authors should have a "Work Out" on improvement of their materials.
