5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2013
Verified Purchase
Easy to read and understand, lots of extra boxes eg. "Controversy" 1, 2, 3... and "Briefing" which highlight certain issues from the main body of the text which is usefully sectioned into chapters, headings and further subheadings. Questions and further references at the end of each chapter, as well as a glossary for each, makes learning and further research easy
