A must read for teens, adults and parents!
Dr. Grandin has taken her knowledge, expertise and sensitivity one step further in Developing Talents: Careers for Individuals with Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism. She offers many ideas for those affected by or those working with these individuals. This area is filled with people of talent who are underemployed. An example of one of the suggestions offered - an individual who is interested in cartoons and spends their days drawing - all day - being encouraged to go to a museum of cartooning, learning about different kinds of cartoons, the history of cartoons which expands their interest - meeting others with the same interest. It is not enough to have a talent or the intellectual ability to understand complex things. Without work, Dr. Grandin explains, her life would not have had order, content or meaning. She covers many different kinds of jobs that people on the autism spectrum can accommodate to and ones that would be more difficult for them. The book is well thought out and because Dr. Grandin is herself on the spectrum and spends so much of her time speaking to others at her many presentations she has analyzed a great deal of what works and what does not. This book is an absolute must read! I run a large group for parents, professionals and individuals and it is one of my first recommendations. This book gives concrete suggestions and hope.

As a parent of an Asperger teen, this book was confirming and enlightening
As a parent of a teenager with Aspergers, alot of Ms. Gradin's recommendations confirmed what I already thought: sell the skills not the personality, go into areas where your interests/fixations lie and consider working as a consultant in your area of expertise.Finding recommendations I already thought of didn't make me feel like those parts of the book were a waste.On the contrary, it is nice to have affirmation from an outside source, particularly one intimately knowledgable of autism.
Ways to use special interests for people with ASD/AS!
I have read all three of Temple Grandin's books. Each offers a different look at what it is like to experience Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In "Developing Talents" Grandin provides the readers with insight into how parents and educators can assist people with High Functioning Autism/Asperger Syndrome (HFA/AS)achieve success. Read more

Used book to Pass Army Flight Test
I was surprised that this book was "on it" when it came to the test questions that they ask you. I can't speak how well it is when it comes to the other branch tests, but it helped me prepare for the test giving me a passing score.
Great Help
This book really helped, but I am sure the tens of reviews before mine already assured you of this fact.

Good Book for AFOQT
This is a good book for the AFOQT, I just took the test and it has it all.My advice is study hard and practice timing yourself.This book has all the subtests found on the AFOQT, study some math if your rusty. GOOD luck! ... Read more

Unread at this time
This book won't be used till winter so can't review at this time. Thank you
Buy The Book
The book is very comprehensive and gives a very accurate picture of what to expect on your plumbing exam. It makes learning the code fun and you will find out what you don't know quickly. Use it in conjuction with your code book to look up areas you are weak in. If you can answer eighty percent of the questions in the "Study Guide" correctly you will probably pass your test. It's the best book of its kind. FIVE STARS. ... Read more

Good explanation of a confusing subject
The book gives a good acccount of the various Islamic militant factions and their interactions. The opinions seemed a bit "armchair general" and opinionated at times, but they made several good points. I'd recommend the book although it had the following drawbacks for me:
PLACE IT IN A ZIPLOCK BAG AND PUT IT IN YOUR RUCKSACK!
First off, all John Poole's books should be read by the Secretary of Defense on down to the grunt in the field and more military outfits should go through his course. [...] Secondly, this particular book and his previous work Tactics of the Crescent Moon: Militant Muslim Combat Tactics should be MANDATORY READING for every soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine deploying to Iraq or Afghanistan. If you're headed that way buy these books! Put them in a ziplock bag and place them in your rucksack. If you have a loved one who's deploying to these theaters of operation and they don't know about these books buy them these books! These books may very well save their lives!

The usual stupidity in high places
Pooles's books reminds me of "the Game Of Nations" by M. Copeland, which was published almost 50 years ago. In it Copeland quotes Nasser, the dictator of Egypt, as saying that originally he thought that US foreign policy was very subtle and devious, then he realized that it was simply very stupid.

Practical excercises to prepare you for the phase I exam
This book provides practice exams to prepare you for all parts of the phase I test. This is basically the only book of its kind. I haven't yet studied for the phase II portion, but the parts I skimmed seemed more than adequate.

Excellent Study Aid
I took the FBI written exam recently, and this book helped me understand the TYPE of questions involved. I don't think I would've passed the written tests without the aid of this book. FBI EXAM

A Necessary Tool for CPA Candidates

Passed with Excellence, but this book offered minimal help.
I bought this book thinking that it would help me study the material on the PLT, but it is only summary of the topics the test covers. It is meant to be used as a guide to show a test-taker what to study from textbooks and other sources.
PASSED TEST!!!
This book has an outline of the informantion that you will need on the test.This way you are not studying topics that are not on the test and wasting valuable study time. It also shows the format of the test, sample questions, answers, and grading. All of the information that is on the test is not in this book, but was easily found on the internet.It is a great guide to know what to study for.

Useful...if you follow the directions
This book is very useful, but keep this in mind:it does not actually contain many useful facts.It is an outline of what to study and several useful tips on how to study it.Besides this book you will need a source of information on teaching theory.Your college textbooks work nicely, as does a well-stocked library.

Better than college textbooks
The author wrote this book assuming that non-financial people need to understand accounting, making this easy to read and understandable. Having gone through a college course on accounting, and being forced to use three other books (which were also worthless), I only wished I read this book first. Although it's designed for not-for-profit organizations, it explains the differences with for-profit organizations, and explains why certain things can be done, or can't be done. For anyone who is starting fresh, starting a new company, or planning on taking accounting in college, I would strongly recommend you invest $30 (my accounting textbook was over $100) and the first chapter alone, summarizes the the first 10 chapters of several college textbooks.

small non-profit organization treasurer
This book is not for bookkeepers.It is more for accountants who want to understand non-profit accounting.If a bookkeeper needs to know the proper day to day and month to month entries for this kind of organization, than this book is not for you.
Soporific and Overly Wordy.
Reads like a law textbook. Author often uses three sentences where one would do. Much ink is wasted telling the reader "we won't go into that here, but Chapter "X" deals exclusively with that." Concepts are understandable for those with an accounting background, but definitely would not recommend to someone without a solid grasp of accounting fundamentals. Author should have hired a writer to help him smooth out his writing style. Not recommended. ... Read more

Decent review book but could be better
This book was all I needed to pass the exam on my first try, even without any auditing coursework or experience. I'm not sure how it compares to Bisk, but the material is dense and it's hard to read more than a few pages at once. Accordingly, each of the "section reviews" is far too long and should be split up. There are 6 sections that take up 380 pages (much of this is for practice questions and answers), along with a 100+ page outline of professional standards (which there's no need to look at).

So many errors!!
There are so many errors in this book.Its shameful.If you're a beginner trying to get an understanding of aircraft maneuvers based on gauges, dont bother with this one.It'll have you scratching your head!

Military Flight Aptitude Tests (CliffsTestPrep)
I would definitely recommend this book rather than the Officer Candidate Tests book.There's much more material covered and it gives a more basic overview of what is needed than the OCT book.The OCT book gives a more technical mechanics review that is not needed and doesn't even provide half of what's covered on the AFOQT.
AWEFULL editing
I can't believe the poor job of technical editing in this book.I am a pilot and all of the Flight errors in this book will confuse you if you don't already know how to fly ... Read more

DO NOT USE FOR NAVY MARINE CORPS ASTB!!!!!!!!!!
Several probelms with the book. First, changes were made to the Navy's DCO program prior to 2004 that were not included in this printing. Second the ASTB has changed its format, when I don't knowso that MAY be a problems with timing. HOWEVER OF THE SECTIONS OF THE ASTB THAT THE BOOK STATES ARE ON THE ASTB, ONLY TWO (2) SECTIONS WERE GIVEN IN THE BOOK TO PRACTICE ON, THE OTHERS WERE NOT INLCUDED.I am ticked of and felt I wasted my time waiting for this book and money on it. CHECK OUT ONLINE PREP SERVICES!!!!!!!!!!

Book is poorly written with a lot of errors
I am very disappointed with this book because there are a lot of errors in it.I found the newer edition, and was disappointed to see the same typos in it.This was particularly upsetting because the typos that I noticed are in the Math sections (although I am sure they are elsewhere too)It is unfortunate there are few resources to choose from for this topic.The explanations in the math section are also poorly written.I am honestly worried about the real exam because this book gives me very little guidance.

this book isn't worth it
