Easy to navigate the pages and sections with the footers guiding the way. The intense subject matter is broken up with the blue headers and the black subheads making it easy to find the information needed. Part sections are defined by the photos of Texas (sourced from Adobe Stock), breaking up the text heavy 780 page book .")
