Title: Weak, out of date
Review: This book is superficial, weak, and out of date. It skips over many newer developments and the "Where the field is headed" sections often focus on research that is twenty years old. I hate to pick on the authors because writing a good book is difficult, but this book makes me doubt they have much recent experience in the field.I had to buy this for school and plan to sell it back as soon as the quarter is over. I've stopped reading the book and now just skim the topics to make sure I brush up on any weak areas using other sources.
