Sample Chapter
You can view Chapter 1 of the book in PDF format by following this link to the Wiley web site. (I'm not totally convinced that this particular chapter is the best example of the strengths of the book. It does demonstrate the author's easy to follow style and lack of pretension, but I would have liked you to be able to see just how detailed and clear some of the more technical chapters are. )
