Bristol GS ATPL Texts

I'm currently working through the ATPL distance theory with Bristol and am wondering if anyone else feels like the Bristol Texts are just plain lacking for information and explanation.

For instance I'm reading a section now that described the ITCZ and distribution of the Upper Level Winds and it merely states that the ITCZ causes the upper winds to be easterly without explaining why.

If you read OAA texts it goes through and explains that this is because of how the ITCZ shifts and how the air during the summer months (in the northern hemisphere) is warmer north of the equator meaning that the winds should be generally easterly (due to buys ballot law).

The Bristol Texts always seem to just glance over topics and leave you just trying to memorize facts rather than building an in depth understanding of the material.

What are your opinions?
