4.0 out of 5 stars Understandable for those not in the know, 15 May 2009
By Campbell79 (England) - See all my reviews
I only have an interest in this subject and have not been trained in any area relating to this subject. However, to the layperson this book is understandable and relatively easy to read. It did tend to go-on in places but I am sure that this is necessary for those who buy this book for study and not just for a neb, like me! Very good.
