This book is not well thought out. It has lots of errors. It is poor at synthesizing things or cooking things down to a compact idea. It goes round and round until the central point is just in the soup somewhere. It is very poor at using sub headings that allow the student to understand what we are talking about right now and different from anything we have said before. Numbers and results show up time and again without explanation or poor organization of the workings to come to a result. There are may laundry lists with many circuitous explanations that sets up contradictions for previous arguments made. This book just talks too much and tries to zoom in on everything with frequent convoluted results.
