Title: Brilliant Authors -
Review: The text is either a great text with horrible supporting documentation, including the practice quizzes, or wonderfully written practice quizzes and a horribly written text. And I am very sad to add, the quizzes the Authors (or is it the Publisher's handiwork?) market to the Instructors are equally ill-conceived. If it is the intention of the Authors to write material and provide learning materials such that the quizzes are a reasonable measure of that learning they pitifully miss the mark. If the quizzes are merely to identify how poor the Authors did with the textbook, then they are excellent quizzes. The concepts are difficult enough, but when the Authors go out of their way to convolute the verbiage in either their text or online additional materials this is academic elitism. This is not a text I would select.
