"This is an excellent textbook that has truly 'grown' as each new edition has come out. The text is an easy read, equations are used when and where appropriate, and the use of 'boxes' is excellent. The topics covered and the sequence of topics is very appropriate especially in the Canadian context." --John Menzies, Brock University
