    Not the greatest

    I bought this book for a class and it was a waste. We used it in class but the chapters all talked about the same thing. All you had to do was read one chapter and you knew all you needed to know which was common sense anyway. Tge chspters repeated themselves. My teacher was very upset and is not using it ever again. Total waste of money and time.
