This text was required reading for my first term in an 18 month Sonography program. I found it to be comparable to other texts with a couple of annoying issues. First, the author / publisher was LAZY when creating the Table of Contents. Because most Intro to Sonography courses aren't built specifically for this text, the topics jump around. Had the book listed subheadings to each of the nine chapters listed in the contents, it would have been less frustrating and made the text more efficient for the majority of intro courses. Also, the ad nauseam history of sound/ultrasound could have been more brief, or at least a table or representation given to summarize the major historical developments significant to the field of Sonography rather than the single table summarizing milestones in the study of sound from 500 bc to 1883 ad.
