The Job Hunters Final Exam

Pretty decent advice book.
The Job Hunter's Final Exam is basically an advice book. One hundred answers are given to one hundred commonly asked questions about finding a job. The book begins with a 100 question, true or false quiz. After taking the quiz, the author then gives you the answers. Next, you take the quiz once again and see if your grade improved.

The book does give some valuable advice on the ins and outs of job hunting and it is very easy to read. However, this is only an advice book. I do not recommend buying this book if you want help in writing resumes or letters. This is more of a supplementary book. Added to other job search books it can be helpful.

This book is fine as history. It needs updating now though.
In the post Romer vs. Evans era (1996) this book is out-dated. The authors are experts in their fields. But the material needs up-dating. The ACLU is highly respectable as defenders of gay rights.

"Treasure Hunters" exciting novel, yet lacks edge
The novel "The Treasure Hunters" is a well written tale of suspense and intrigue. Wait, that sounds cliched. Instead, it is simply a very interesting book, but it is not without its pitfalls. The reader is introduced to a series of characters brought together from around the globe to partake in a special "adventure." They are some of the best survivalists and adventurists, and thrill at competition. They will be competing for a fortune in gold at the end of a five-terrain course covering the mountains, the desert, the rapids, and other very extreme locales. Yet they discover that they are not just competing against each other, but are trying simply to stay alive. The Hunters (uppercased H) have come to Earth in search of a thrill. They are an advanced society of extraterrestrials who thrill to hunt other species in the galaxy. It is the Hunters who have brought these people together for a competition that they actually have a chance of winning, and this is the surprising part. The aliens are very sporting, allowing the humans to choose any weapons they desire. The aliens, in turn, choose the same weapons, and will not use any of their superpowers, or the "Discovery" (another of the many common nouns in the novel to be made proper names.) Readers may mistake this as a Predator-style romp, where the humans will be given no breaks and are continually fearing for their lives, but it is not so. The aliens are just too kind, allowing for rest periods in very nice ski-lodge type houses between the five terrains. The novel's downfall comes in its exploration and description of the Discovery, or, the ability that all living creatures posess to have total control over all matter. The authors took too much time to go into this subject, which took away from the suspense aspect of the book. It's strange, because the humans win too easily in my opinion, and the reader is not instilled with a true hate for the alien Hunters. Still, one must acknowledge the great effort that is evident in the book. There is good character developement, better than a lot of science fiction novels, and the action sequences are interesting, motivating the reader to miss a few nights of a sleep to finish the book.

Biased point of view
To the individuals who read this book and take it for fact, you are being mislead. First of all and most importantly, Wicca and santeria are NOT satanic practices, in spite of what the repressed and sadly bible blind christian public may like to believe. If you want real information on either of these things, this book and its like are NOT where you get it. The book itself has a few interesting paragraphs. I've read better. If you are interested in true hunters of evil check out anything by Ed and Lorraine Warren. They are intelligent and learned and their view is a lot less biased.

Decent Overview
This book provided a decent overview of the various occult groups (Satanist, Wiccan, Santeria and Voodoo) operating in the United States. The author seems to have researched his material pretty well. I took away a few stars for two reasons. One, this book is rather dated having been published in the mid-80s. If you are looking for an up-to-date publication, this probably won't do it for you. Secondly, the chapter on Wicca was pretty bad. It basically allowed two professed witches get on their soapbox and preach away. While this is very informative, some kind of counterpoint would be helpful. Furthermore, the witches in question did NOT (unlike the author) back up their claims with any kind of verifiable evidence. Twice they claimed that Exodus 22:18 was somehow placed in there by a (unnamed) Pope. A beginning seminary student could tell you that there is ample evidence that the text of Exodus pre-dates the papacy by a very long time. All and all this was a decent book with a very readable style.

Very Educational
Wedge's book "The Satan Hunter" is interesting for several reasons, one of which is that it's written by a former policeman who dealt with satanists during his career. Most books on satanism are written by theologians, but it was interesting that he was a policeman. Another benefit of this book is that it educates the reader on various satanic groups, including the Church of Satan, Santeria, and Wicca. This book also contains case studies of some who are involved in these various groups. If you want a good overview of satanism, read this book.
