Title: lower quality in many ways ('96 version)
Review: Mine is second edition (1996). Not sure how much it evolved since then.I had it because it was required by the class (about 10 years ago). I didn't like it but thought it was my fault for not understanding at that time. Now I know a little better about the field and when I read it again, I found it was really bad: the materials are organized not in a logic manner; it is pretty random about what it covers in more detail, what less - mostly just stacking up stuff, plus repetition without much a point; hardly any insightful explanation beyond copying materials that you probably can find more easily by google or wikipedia; even the text typing and diagram quality is poor and inconsistent ...
