Title: Shocking lack of editorial oversight
Review: This could be a great book but it is let down by truly awful editing. Wolf writes well but his clarity is lost in the sea of mistakes that made it to press. The text often refers to the wrong figure or to one not present, figures are duplicated, formulas have mistakes in them (including easy to find errors like mismatched parenthesis), node and component names are renamed in place but not another, etc., etc.Basically the editors were asleep at the wheel. In general you will spend easily as much time trying to weed out the numerous mistakes as you will actually learning anything. Or worse give up thinking that the subject matter is beyond you.How this book made it to third edition in such a raw state is beyond me and a black mark on Prentice Hall's usually excellent editorial reputation. Do yourself a favor and avoid this book.
