Review
"Clarity, thoroughness of coverage, comprehensibility, excellent examples, logical order of presentation--all are excellent. Finegan understands the level of knowledge and sophistication of his/our audience of students and is therefore able to communicate effectively throughout the text."
"One of the most striking things about Finegan's writing is that it is very reader friendly. He attempts to reach the students rather than show his own erudition through the use of jargon. This is one of the main strengths throughout the book."
