For the most part, the book is well written with a clear and convincing style, but with occasional bursts of unnecessarily long sentences and long paragraphs. The book is well illustrated with bullet lists, diagrams, and short case studies interspersed in the text to emphasize the surrounding message. Each chapter is supported by a list of references. The book has a total of 260 pages including Appendix A, which provides some eighteen templates and layouts. The book does not have a Glossary of Terms.
