• worst book ever. no kidding
  Normally i don't return books because it's too much trouble for $20 or so. I had to return this one because i could picture the people behind it laughing at me for buying it.
  The publisher of this book needs to recall it and take it off the shelf if they want to retain a slim hope of credibility.
