This was fine! An overview that was dry at times. If you’re wondering if you can get by with this edition rather than the newest one, you can definitely make it work. Most of the chapters are the same, but there were spots where text was altered, cut, or completely brand new that became apparent to me during class. If you pay attention in class and if the professor gives a good overview of each chapter in class you should be fine.

I wanted to keep a record of everything I've read since joining this application, so I have to count my schoolbooks as well. I did learn a lot from this book but I must say I am glad to put it on the shelf for awhile. I know it will be incredibly handy when I am ready for my licensing exams but for now, I breath a sigh of relief that I am done with it.
