This book is a collection of pseudo-editorials on aspects of PHM. It is decent for the variety of perspectives offered by each chapter's author.

One of the most awesome text books I have ever read. I am actually thinking of purchasing it. The book is an intellectual game changer for me.

Not sure what I expected from this book. Couldn't keep focused on the content. Not sure how they could make it better.

About 3 chapters were placed upside down and semi out of sequence and not even, but it served its purpose able to read and do assigned homework
