Summary: Two steps forward, One step backward
Review: This is overall a good book. The earlier version of the same book was better because it had more diagrams, more examples, more chapters, etc. This book lacks the meat contained in the previous version, including fewer pages and smaller font size. Don't know why these enlightened authors have taken this step... So, think twice before you buy this book...
