This "solutions manual" only offers answers for every fourth question. The most painful part is that the so-called solutions are merely the answers from the back of the text book put into complete sentences; there is NO additional instruction.

Unfortunately, Amazon does not offer any way to properly rate this waste of money.

This book is so pathetically minimal that I award it...1/10 of a star. (It may be useful in starting a fire in your fireplace...maybe). DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS SOLUTION MANUAL! It only includes about every other odd solution, and most of the time, it shows just the (often incorrect) answer. The worst part is, that same answer is usually in the back of the textbook! It is definitely not worth even $5.00, so save your money!

This book has the annoying habit of presenting opinion as fact. It's a required textbook for "Real Estate Practice" in some classes in California, but if you are just looking for an informational book on California Real Estate outside of the classroom, I would recommend a Nolo Press book instead.

Don't bother purchasing this booklet - I found it completely useless. It provided absolutely NO insights or usefull information that you could not get by doing a quick article search on Yahoo. There is very little data included in this document and the few data points that are mentioned are not supported by source identification. The author has evidently no business training and should not be advertising this booklet as a "strategic report"

This book has many strategies and models that a classroom teacher can use; and as an administrator, I have found many coaching techniques that are valuable. However, EDIT THE THING. It is just egregious that a book on education can be so riddled with errors. I am shocked and appalled. Shame on the editors!!! Or were there any editors?

P.S. If the 121,233,334,221,444 errors are fixed maybe it can rate 3 or 4 stars.

I purchased this book and was extremely disappointed. The book is not worth $... I thought this was a newly published book and was shocked to see the original copyright as 1960. The pictures are all black and white and do not reflect the true history of the Christmas tree. My recommendation is Not to buy this book!

This is the most worthless book I ever bought! I'd give it minus stars if possible. It is the only book I ever returned (immediately). I wouldn't buy it if it only cost the shipping charge.

the book is a fake i did not like it it sucked and was very boring it did not tell the right facts and was very boring.

A lot has changed since 1909 when Anderson's book was first published. Most readers will find either Josh McDowell's 'Daniel in the critics' den : historical evidence for the authenticity of the Book of Daniel' of Joyce Baldwin's 'Daniel' more useful

Alexander Di Lella is a famous Bible scholar. He co-authored the often-quoted Anchor Bible Commentary on Daniel with Louis Hartman. I'm sorry to write an unkind review, but this book is a big disappointment after reading the excellent Anchor Bible Commentary.

He advises the reader on page 12 that the book of Daniel is pseudonymously written in a fictional time-frame and full of forged "prophecies after the event." Elsewhere he calls the book a work of fiction and says a certain passage is "naive." He compares the book to a "fairy tale" on page 26. This is not surprising in itself since most of modern Bible scholarship has similar views.

But Di Lella wants to show the nonscholar how to apply the spiritual truths in the forged book to their lives, and that's where he has trouble every step of the way.

He says on page 12 that the forged prophecies were "not used to deceive but rather to add authority to the work and to affirm the author's conviction that God is in control of human history." The statement is nonsense. Regardless of any higher motive, for anybody to pretend he discovered a long-lost prophecy written by an ancient worthy would be deception. If he told his audience that he made up the whole story, no "authority would be added to the work."

He insists on pages 14 and 15 that he will not "read into" the text (like commentators he disagrees with) but will "read out of" the text what is significant for us today. The themes of the Book of Daniel are faithfulness to Yahweh in the face of death, that God will ultimately triumph, and that martyrs will be resurrected. Faithful Jews in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes followed Daniel's teachings, thousands becoming martyrs (as reported in 1 and 2 Maccabees.) When I read the allusions to Daniel in the Books of the Maccabees, I can easily follow the Jewish martyrs' reasoning.

But I can't follow Di Lella's. He sees the book as inspiring us to "protect the rights of the poor and helpless," to oppose "institutional sins like consumerism and militarism, nationalism and racism, and laws justifying the exploitation of third world nations..." On the same page he sees "Babylon's evil hand at work in the systematic exploitation of the poor by rich and powerful transnational corportations as well as in the corruption of judges and other government officials." These are typical applications repeated throughout the book. My objection to all this is that even if Di Lella is right about every point, he is "reading into" the text, exactly what he promised not to do.

He brings up on page 53 the fact that Hitler demanded absolute obedience "even when the orders contained actions forbidden by the moral law." Unquestioning obedience, he says, is why the Third Reich could commit dreadful atrocities against Jews, Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals, and others. On page 54 he says that the proper course for a Christian to follow is that of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in civil disobedience.

Di Lella is Catholic. Some of his readers include the groups that suffered under Hitler. Jewish, Gypsy, homosexual, and Polish readers might think that this would be an obvious time to point out what they already know: Mussolini would have had no army and Hitler would have had only sixty percent of an army if German and Italian Catholics had followed the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego during the thirties and forties. Di Lella ignores the sensitive point he stumbled into and exhorts the reader to follow the example of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. The ony example he can think of who was martyred by the Nazis was the Lutheran, Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

These objections only scratch the surface.

Some other Catholic scholar would have done a better job. Di Lella was trying to do a task he wasn't cut out for.

I suggest you read "The Book of Daniel" that he co-authored with Louis Hartman. It doesn't try so hard to apply the book to modern life.
