"Excellent book. Detailed, readable and with clear pictures. First chapters explain the basics well. Reading later chapters gives an indepth understanding without much effort. Explains complicated material in an understandable manner, gives you a confident understanding. Very recommendable. Good tables and well defined “morphology” boxes that are easily found and read."
