Highly Recommended.......2007-02-07

This is an excellent prep for the sales exam. I did all 9 practice exams and was able to pass the sales exam the first try. The types of questions and range of topics covered in this prep exam are very similar to the real exam. However, the degree of difficulty in the prep exam is more than the real exam, which I appreciated very much. The only thing I didn't like about this CD is that the software does not allow printing of the correct answers along with the questions I got wrong. Also, there is no way to save what you had done and come back another day to finish the exam.

A helpful study guide, but could be improved.......2004-11-11

This CD-ROM contains 1 pretest and 9 practice exams for a total of 1,425 questions. I am currently studing for the real estate exam and this is most definately a useful tool. However, there are a few annoying factors that should have been addressed before releasing, especially at its price. First of all, there are numerous spelling, grammatical, and spacing errors. Next, once you open the program there is no way to minimize the screen. The practice exams are 150 time-consuming questions each, so if you are an hour into it and want to check your email you have to scrap the whole thing. Lastly, the 1 pretest allows you to answer a question and immediately see the correct answer. I like that. The other 9 exams don't allow you to see the right or wrong answers until the test is complete. It's a pain to roll back through the test again. I want to see the answers right away so I can burn them into my brain. Also, at the end of each test there is an option to print all wrong answers, but the questions and the right answers come out on different sheets. I quickly grew tired of matching them up, it was a waste of time. The questions that were answered incorrectly should print out with the right answer marked. If you can live with this products' problems, it is worthwhile.

Not detailed enough for broker exam.......2007-05-29

It might be great for the salesperson exam, but it just doesn't have the detail for the brokers exam. I have to take the test again.

Do Not Expect to Pass the California Brokers Exam By Reading This Book Alone!.......2006-07-15

I just passed the California Brokers Examination on my first try. I am an attorney and have no real estate background and I do not have a real estate sales license. (In fact I hated Real Property in law school and avoid practicing in this area.) I read a few primer books including this one to see what would be on the exam. I read this Barron's book all the way through and answered all of the test questions. I the took the Real Estate Trainers Course in Santa Ana, on the advise of a girlfriend who is a broker and who took their course. They offer a crash courses in LA, Orange County and in Northern Cal. I took the course, read the big book they give you; did all of the exam questions (Over 1500); attended the crash course seminar twice and took the test. The courses and practice exams Real Estate Trainers gave, made the test easy.

When I took the Real Estate Trainer's Course I realized that this Barrons book is only good to lay out the general areas that are on the actual test. However, you can not use this book alone to the pass the test. The questions in this book are too easy and don't reflect how hard the questions actually are. You can use it for general information purposes only but some of the areas in the Barron's book overemphasis areas that the actual test spends little or no time on.

In that the pass rate for the exam is between 30 and 38%, I would prepare the best you can. Save your money and find this book in the local library and check it out. (Many libraries have it.) Read and take a brokers exam course.

Do Not Buy This Book.......2006-03-17

Like the previous reviewer I studied this book in detail, took all the exams which totaled over 1000 questions, scoring over 90% on each exam and still flunked the Broker's Exam. This after having passed the State Bar exam for attorneys on the first try. This book did not cover even 10% of what was on the exam. I emailed the authors and they never responded. This book is a complete piece of garbage. You cannot count on it for anything.

Basic Fundamentals, but not sufficient exam prep .......2006-02-14

The questions in the theoretical exams do not reflect what you will find on the actual test. If you use this book alone to prepare, there is a good chance you will fail the exam. In general, the questions will help you to grasp some fundamentals, but you will need to go over some more realistic test questions to prepare.

Not for the exam.......2005-12-20

I studied this book for my first broker's exam on December 14, 2005 at the Pasadena Center and failed. I solved and reviewed twice all the chapter problems and all of the exam sets in the book. I was very confident that I could answer correctly on all the questions in the book. But the questions on the actual exam were nothing like the ones in the book. The questions on the actual exam were much longer and harder. They required much deeper knowledge than what the book presented. It was like the authors never have seen the actual exam. This is a real estate knowledge book, not an exam prep book. I have wasted my time and money because of this book. What could an exam prep book do worse if a book not only does not help, but also misleads about the actual exam? Please do not buy this book to study for the exam. This is a shame on the famous name 'Barron's'. Do not be a victim like me. Hope my and my family's suffer would do some good by letting other people know not to buy this book.

Book Description

The very concept of human rights implies governmental accountability. To ensure that governments are indeed held accountable for their treatment of citizens and others the United Nations has established a wide range of mechanisms to monitor compliance, and to seek to prevent as well as respond to violations. The panoply of implementation measures that the UN has taken since 1945 has resulted in a diverse and complex set of institutional arrangements, the effectiveness of which varies widely. Indeed, there is much doubt as to the effectiveness of much of the UN's human rights efforts. Inevitable instances of politicization and the hostile, or at best ambivalent, attitude of most governments, has often endangered the fragile progress made on the more technical fronts. In addition to significant actual and potential problems of duplication, overlapping and inconsistent approaches, there are major problems of under-funding and insufficient expertise. The complexity of these arrangements and the difficulty in evaluating their impact makes a comprehensive guide of the type provided here all the more indispensable. These essays critically examine the functions, procedures, and performance of each of the major UN organs dealing with human rights, including the Security Council and the International Court of Justice as well as the more specialized bodies monitoring the implementation of human rights treaties. Significant attention is devoted to the considerable efforts at reforming the UN's human rights machinery, as illustrated most notably by the creation of the Human Rights Council to replace the Commission on Human Rights. The book also looks at the relationship between the various bodies and the potential for major reforms and restructuring.

Book Description

The laboratory exercises in this manual are coordinated with Inquiry into Life, a general biology text that covers the entire field of biology. The text emphasizes how we can apply biological knowledge to our own lives and to our relationships with other organisms.Although each laboratory is referenced to the appropriate chapter in Inquiry into Life, this manual may be used in coordination with other general biology texts. This laboratory manual allows adaptation to a variety of course orientations and designs. There are a sufficient number of laboratories to permit a choice of activities over the length of the course. Many activities may be performed as demonstrations rather than as student activities, thereby shortening the time required to cover a particular concept.

Customer Reviews:

Inquiry into the Life is an excellent lab manual.......2003-01-09

I have been teaching freshman biology for 15 years. Mader's lab manual is the finest book that I have used. It has informative laboratories with outstanding discussions of the subject being studied. The manual is illustrated attractively, effectively, and amply. I would recommend the lab manual to any freshman biology professor who is interested in traditional labs.

Book Description

Learning is much more than reading a textbook. That's why the 10th edition of Inquiry into Life is integrated closely with an Online Learning Center where students and professors alike will benefit. The OLC provides animations, virtual labs, online quizzing, Power Point lecture outlines, and other tools that will help make teaching a little easier and learning a lot more fun.

Inquiry into Life covers the whole field of basic biology, and emphasizes the application of this knowledge to human concerns. Along with this approach, concepts and principles are stressed, rather than detailed, high-level scientific data and terminology.

Excellent, informative source.......1997-11-11

As a Grade 12 student in Canada, I have found this book to be excellent, informative, and concise. This book lays a solid foundation of introductory biology. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in biology. I believe you will find this book to be useful and helpful.

The sidekick of Inquiry into Life.......2000-08-03

This study guide is so thorough, that doing it tests the material that you have read in the book. There are pictures you fill in and the answers are on the back of each section. Thus, some people have the desire to just copy the answers. The guide is probably more of a summary to the reading from the book and highlights the most important information that is likely to be on a test and is a great preparation for a biology test.

Book Description

The book deals with the most accurate method to describe thermodynamic property data, with empirical multiparameter equations of state. Due to new theoretical approaches, to increasing demands on the accuracy of thermodynamic property data, and to increasing computer power such equations became a valuable tool for every day calculations in scientific and engineering applications, rather than just the basis of printed property charts and tables. The book is dedicated both to users, who apply such formulations either in form of commercially available software or in form of programs written by themselves, and to scientists engaged in the development of empirical equations of state. Starting from a brief history, it covers the fundamentals of this subject as well as the most recent developments in the fields of highly accurate reference equations, of equations for advanced technical applications, and of the description of mixtures with multiparameter equations of state.

Book Description

Over the past five years, Jon & Wendy Coile have gained some measure of notoriety for the ever increasing absurdity of their annual Christmas Letter. From a simple two-page chronicle of the year's events, their Xmas Letter has evolved from the ubiquitous annual diary into a source of delight and surprise for those on their Christmas card list.

Now available in hardcover and paperback from international publisher, iUniverse, Evolution of an Xmas Letter is the complete and unabridged compendium of their body of work-to-date.

Filled with action, famous people, tragedy and comedy, we can guarantee you that it is like no other holiday letter you have ever seen. It makes a great Christmas Present, too!

Here's what the critics are saying:

“Our Christmas Letter this year is a book? Are you kidding me? A book? What were you thinking?”—Wendy Coile

“Always, always, always keep holiday letters to two-pages or less. People don't want to be bored to tears reading every miniscule detail of your life.”—Prof. Vicki Meade

“Drop the plum pudding! Leave your presents under the tree and read aloud your copy of Evolution of an Xmas Letter. You'll laugh! You'll cry (well, maybe not cry)! But you will love it!”—Yoda

“If nothing else, please, at least read the last page before noon on January 1st.”—Drew Elioc

Evolution of an Xmas Letter........2005-12-17

I've gotten a few 'Christmas' letters from family and friends over the years but none nearly as entertaining as the ones from Jon & Wendy Coile. I have worked for Jon Coile for three years, nine months, and sixteen days. At some point during the first year he asked me to read the 'beginning' of his annual Christmas letter. "Yikes, this wasn't part of the job description. Boring, but I'll play along!" I chuckled and giggled through the pages Jon gave me and then... "Jon, where is the rest of this letter?" "Oh, I haven't finished it yet"...great he gets me hooked and leaves me hanging...(yes, I eventually get the full letter).
I sincerely hope you take the time to read Jon & Wendy's book - it is entertaining, real-life, and maybe I'll see you at a party!
