The only play Shakespeare wrote that I did not like at all was "Othello." "All's Well That Ends Well" was never that popular. It lacks the hilarious tone of "The Comedy of Errors," the superb construction of "Much Ado About Nothing," or the profound messages of "The Merchant of Venice." Also, we can very well be in two minds of what to think of Bertram's rejection of Helena. The characters are not that convincing, and much of the humour is based on bad taste. But the play is not quite a flop. There are moments of suspense. There is some delightful comedy (especially when Bertram chooses to stay in battle rather than go home and marry Helena). And at times, Helena is memorable. I would not make time to read this play, but then it's not a waste of time either.

Poor coverage of concepts and poor exposition of examples.

ELEMENTARY. BORING. NOT CHALLENGING. MISSES SEVERAL IMPORTANT ISSUES.

The authors could do with some refresher courses -- they seem really over the hill!

Introductory Accounting texts are not rocket science. This text covers similar gound as others, probably in a below-average fashion as it is extremely boring and fails to elicit student interest. There is no new ground or any theoretical breakthroughs. It would have been nice if the text had addressed some issues of current concern to managers and accountants -- such as issues of fraudulent ethics and international accounting. Jan Williams et al. seem to be unaware of current issues bothering accountants, but it is probably too much to expect anything cutting-edge from a book of this type or by these authors.

I'm just beginning to look into a career as a Pharmacy Tech and this is one of the first books that I've looked at, but it seems that there is an error in Ch.1 Sample questions. Question C asks: "True or False?
1.When there is only one brand/trade name for a medication (no generic equivalent), the trade name must appear on the prescription/medication order."
The answer in the back of the book says this statement is FALSE, but if there is no generic equivalent, then wouldn't the brand/trade name be the ONLY name for the drug? And if there is only ONE brand name, wouldn't it HAVE to appear on the prescription?
Common sense tells me that this is a mistake. It also makes me wonder how many other errors are embedded in this text and whether I'd be foolish to use it as a STUDY guide. Why memorize incorrect information? Will Ms. Marks, the author, take responsibility for questions that I answer wrongly on the exam b/c I learned them from her book??? I think not. Buyer beware!

If you've worked in a pharmacy for years and math is a snap for you, then go ahead and buy this book. I is the cheapest and quickest certification guide out there. However, if you need to comprehensively review for the national certification exam, you'll need a much more in-depth book. This book only briefly mentions many important points, assuming that you already know them. Don't buy this book if you need a comprehensive review guide for the PTCB exam.

This book is really nothing more than an outline for study and a collection of questions and one letter answers. It was also published at the inception of the pharmacy certification exam and the exam has changed substantially since then. The material contained in the text is really not much more that what is included with the exam packet, just expanded bit, and is now outdated in the level and breadth of knowledge which is expected from examinees with a passing score. Examinees would be better served by a more detailed, helpful, comprehensive and recently published text.

The first person is right this book does nothing for the parents,there is no way you can figure out what is going on unless you have had algebra before, no examples no help what so ever.

These series have not examples to follow, no parent helps. No other books are taken home to show how to work the problems! Unless you (an adult) have extensive algebra training, forget this series.

This text is very dry which maks it hard to read. It does seem to be a great source of fact type information though.

This book was OK, 10 editions ago when there were few competitors. However, currently there are several introductory Accounting books which handle the subject matter in a more topical and more interesting fashion. Skip this one!

what does it take to put a book together and get an exhibition done at a regional museum, with funding from a major foundation? apparently nothing. this book does nothing to further the cause of art and artists of the south. why doesn't somebody do a good survey book on self-taught art? and why does the university of mississippi press publish every book on self-taught art? black folk art 1930-1980 was a decent book on a then emerging field, but that was done in 1981. that was almost twenty years ago. and here we are in the year 2000, and no one has done a book that is any better than that. there is great art out there by these talented artists, there must be someone out there with half a brain to do a good book. when they do, email me and i'll buy it. i wonder if because the artists are self-taught, someone out there thinks it is cute to let elementary school students write about them. much of the art is very sophisticated and cerebral, and it is time the scholarship in this field rises to the level of quality that the art deserves.

I bought it and never open it. It has the same stuff in the book and still no answers or help on the problems you are doing

My daughter is being taught from this book. It has no instructions in it what so ever. When she brings it home for homework and unless you know algebra already it is totally useless. It is the most confusing book to work from. Some of the stories in it are not even relevant to the problem or the answers, which make it totally confusing for the student. My recomendation is not to purchase this book and if you school is using it, GO IMMEDIATELY TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AND DON'T TURN BACK!!
