Well, this book was writen by someone who worked for the University I go to, and we now use this book. A lack of preparation is all I can really say about this book. Bad explainations are no excuse for the poor writing that went into the actual homework problems. Instead of coming up with new ways to test students math abilities, many problems are identical with the exception of a coefficient or two changed in an equation. Good luck to anyone required to work from this book.

My teacher taught the class with this book and didn't even assign anything out of the book because he hated it so much.

If you want to learn calculus, not get a refresher course, this is the wrong book to use. Too many examples in this book are solved without any explanation of what was done or where the numbers came from. A teacher here at ISU even said that the book was "a tough read." Not a good omen.

test is different than this book save your money, barrons has done it again more inforior study aids?

I dont recommend this book at all for a few simple reasons. First and foremost...it is preparing you for the OLD ATC exam. The FAA has decided that the old test was aniquated and needed to be revised. The set up of the new test is one in which not just anyone off the street can take it and pass it. You now have to have a working knowledge of ATC and the air traffic system.

Second, and probably most importantly, the FAA academy is no longer a pass/fail school. Your exam score is not as important as it used to be when deciding your "fate" in the system. The academy is still 16 weeks long and is still at the Mike Monroney Aeronautic Institute in Oklahoma City. The first section of training is the hardest and most failed...NON-RADAR!

The academy is now mainly used for observation and refresher purposes. The controllers who cannot hack it will be weeded out in their respective facilities, (i.e. Chicago Center or New York TRACON).

It's getting harder and harder to land a job with the FAA...and after 2 years of biting the bullet...it looks like I finally have a chance.

Hopefully..the FAA or another private individual will put out a study guide for the new test...and maybe someone will write down some secrets to successfully landing an FAA job.

THE FAA HAS COME OUT WITH A NEW VERSION OF THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER'S TEST. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO STUDY GUIDE BOOK AVAILABLE. THESE BOOKS ARE STUDY GUIDES FOR THE OLD TEST. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NO USE FOR THE NEW TEST.

This is an extremely poor quality atlas of embryology. I was very disappointed with it.

I want to know what is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit .I want book from Matthew henary

To my embarrassment, I required Jacobson's text on midlife women in my Psychology of Midlife seminar this semester because it was touted as a "feminist" look at women's midlife issues. Instead of learning from this book however, my students used it for target practice for their critical thinking skills, scientific thinking skills, and critiquing skills. This book reads like an undergraduate wrote it -- it is fraught with grammatical, typographical, logic, and even math errors, and the authors' hypotheses are not grounded in the literature. Many research questions are presented, but few of them are ever discussed in terms of Jacobson's findings. I jotted "corrections" on virtually every page of the book, and began class discussion on the text pointing out errors to the students so they would not be miseducated. Furthermore, Jacobson's articulated perspectives on feminism are ignorant and biased. I was truly sorry that I had my class read this book.

I read this book with a group of fifth graders. I find fault with the book because it is presented to students as fact when it is a work of fiction. More should be made of fact. Students come away from the book with the wrong impression.
