Title: Annoying!
Review: This is one frustrating textbook to be assigned. The organization and design are really poor. For example: Design - the text will be cut off mid-sentence by a diagram that you don't need to look at until the next page, when you have to flip back and forth to refer to it. Organization - information is scattered about so you feel like you're reading the same [boring] thing 20 times, so you start skimming, but then you miss the one kernel of information that's added each time (the book would be shorter, lighter, AND easier to read if it were organized better). Also, the author includes full citations for everything, like a term paper (a loooong one), so you can lose track of the sentence you're reading by trying to hunt through all the names and dates to find the information. Footnotes, anyone?!Sheesh. This is going to be a long semester...
