While this edition was helpful on certain topics I personally found it often did not include information asked for in the companion workbook or had that information under a completely different heading. I should not have to seach the internet for a simple definition such as structural deviation; a term that is nither in the index with structual alignment, intergation and structural muscular balancing or in your glossary. Please have your author and editor add a section on this topic and list it with the afore mentioned and a simple difinition in your glossary. Thank you.
