CAUTION self-study! Encompassing suboptimal.

The structure is indeed achieve an overview in order, but are lacking appropriate and consistently understandable explanations that would make the dry theory tangible.
The given literary examples turn out to often be deficient or confusing.

Also to fast fobbed many topics in a few pages is annoying, since it raises more questions than to give orientation.
The most unhelpful to my mind Illustrations confuse more or request a private study, as they would help.

In spite of all the need for a komaptke introduction, this learning and working book is suboptimal.

I may be freshmen in English, but already two master degrees and 8 years of study before - even international - rarely seen such unbalanced and unreliable work.
Not for nothing our stressed Prof. during the lecture several times where what went wrong in this book and why it simply is not enough, so he had to provide us with correct information by then but more complex works.

Still, he wanted to - probably due to lack of simple introductions - work with this book.

Is not at all.
