Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. - Edward Snowden
> Now, a few years after writing that review, I must return to say that as much as I hate this book, it's probably the best textbook that I have. I constantly return to it to reteach myself basic concepts or math. The problem with the text is that in order for it to be useful, you pretty much have to already understand the material. It's a dense, technical manual that, when paired with an easier to understand text such as Griffiths, grants tremendous power. Don't get me wrong, if there is a hell, I personally hope John David Jackson is burning in it right now, but I also have to tip my hat to him
