[ 5.0 stars ] "Not exactly what I had hoped for. I got jumped walking home from the bar the other day and let me tell you, though this book might be helpful in theory, it did little to keep me from getting my ass handed to me on the streets. There I was confronted by this D-bag complete with faux-hawk and Tap Out shirt, yelling "Come at me Bro". I am afraid that the dimensional analysis, picture proofs, and suc ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 1.0 stars ] "I loved the title of this book and started reading it.
