Title: Wide breadth, yet sparse description
Review: I had this book as an undergraduate. While it covers a wide range of topics, it does so only by giving many topics a shallow treatment. The material in the book is insufficient for many of the exercises, and the book's examples routinely contain errors. Additionally, at least two versions of the "second edition" exist, and while they are not differently marked, the examples and problems are different.If you need a book that will describe the aspects of design WITHOUT providing accurate details, this is probably a good book for you. But if you need precise details, or if you plan on teaching undergraduate students, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.
Is the review positive or negative?
