Very interesting, if not more than a little one-sided. I got this for a required class and some of the things are a little outdated, but it is still a good read.

My daughter teaches AG & this filled the bill for what the needed Book was in presentable shape and usable

Interesting read, things are well explained.

I didn't really use this book much. It was "required" for my undergrad class, but we rarely used it. It did have good information in it, but it was a little biased.
