A good text that is well written with clear examples for principles, and also includes a lot of useful exercises for practice. However, be careful to avoid purchasing the "Annotated Instructor's Edition" if you are purchasing it for paid-, accredited-coursework! Why? Turns out the answers being provided is okay if you are a disciplined student; HOWEVER, if your professor requires the text to be used in class for "GRADED" activities, BEWARE! It will cost you a penalty in grading and/or dismissal from class!
