INTRODUCTION?? ELEMENTS??
I feel impelled to review this book only because it is so truly badly written. If you are looking for an introduction to this subject, a basic framework on which to build further research, please look elsewhere.

I approached this book with enthusiasm, but from the start found it very confusing, to the point where I think it is fair to say that it is written presuming prior knowledge. Even with such knowledge, the syle is stodgy and uninteresting.

Don't be put off looking into this fascinating subject by this awful book
