Well. This edition is from 2016. There are many instructions about using old methodologies that I would never use today. The book should be updated with more use of the computer. Things are changing rapidly and unfortunately books like this would be out of date quickly. They should remove text about the instruments that where used in the 1970s. No-one are going to use those instruments today..

The info is a little dated. I believe a new edition is due to be out soon.
