"This outstanding book helped illuminate many gray areas for me . .
. Topics are easy to identify and the section on activities helps
if there are further questions." (Doody's, 12 August 2011)



"The content is clear, accessible and interesting. It is split
into broad topics, with clear subheadings that make it easy to dip
into as a reference . . . Overall, this is an excellent book".
