this book rocks! i dig the information as it is provided in a clear/concise manner. it is chock full of cool history facts that make taking my class fun.
it is rather heady at times so i will read first then take notes since taking notes while reading would take forever.
the content and illustrations are organized at times where you have to dig a little to find an image but it's not too bad.
