It is a great synthesis of the main achievements in this field that could be fruitfully adopted by anyone teaching CSS as an introductory guide."

"It is a nice introduction for beginners to grasp the fundamentals of CSS. . This well-organized book provides a timely and comprehensive systematic introduction to CSS. The chapters are relatively independent. . Although this book is intended as a CSS textbook for graduate students . anyone who is interested in the fundamentals of CSS would benefit from reading it."
