this book blows... it is not organized well and it seems as if they just cut and pasted chunks of different books with out giving much thought to it... its as if the writers had no real understanding.. which is surprising because the ~20 authors claim to have Ph.D.'s. hate reading this book, hate carrying this book around, hate virtually everything about this book. on the positive side... it is surprisingly cheap for how thick it is... guess its true that you get what you pay for.
