This is a very informative text that includes several useful charts. I used this for a distance-learning college course and found that, even without face-to-face interaction with an instructor, I got my money's worth from the class based on the quality of this book. Of course, it's still a textbook, mind, so don't expect a riveting read. It's instructive, well-illustrated, organized ... all things a textbook should be.
