✦ Synopsis

I found useful only the first three chapters. For the rest probably adding some more detail and explanations (and pages) would have made it more clear and understandable. The first chapters are a good introduction. The examples in the later chapters are not very clear. At least they do not easily follow from the material previously presented.
