Review

"This book brings together an excellent range of topics, presented in a clear and forthright manner. Each chapter has good depth to the topic, presented in an extremely readable format - very 'user' friendly.

... this 'financial' chapter is one of the clearest this reviewer has read for some time and the author(s) are to be congratulated on their efforts.

...this makes the book a 'must-buy' for discerning readers." Maurice Westcott, MInstAM (Chief Examiner)
