Very Poor Resource--Made for a 6th grader.
919453
I purchased this study guide for my upcoming CFRN exam and I am very disappointed in what I received.  The book is layed out nice, however it is more of an overview, VERY BASIC, and does not describe anything in detail at all.  I consider this book to be written for someone at a highschool or a Basic EMT level, not for the professional nurse looking to pass CFRN the first time. Additionally, I was expecting a significant amount of sample test questions and the book only has 50.  I wish the author would have put more effort into content and sample test questions rather than the 20 pages on how to take exams.  Seriously, if you are at this level of nursing, you already know how to take multiple choice exams!  Save your money and skip this "resource".  VERY POOR!

Definitely not made for competitive world. More like a second grade material at most.

Very little information.  Typo's. Seems like a poorly done high school paper.  I had to go to Barnes and Noble and get a real guide.  Don't waste your money on this one.

This book reads like an padded version of the Wikipedia entry for "Aly & AJ". It resembles an undergraduate research paper, written by a fan having limited contact to Aly and AJ, with most of the quotations coming from magazine articles and interviews. It is superficial and lacks details relating to their religious upbringing, early schooling, and their reasoning. A knowledgeable fan will know 95% of what is covered in the book and many more facts that are omitted. The book has many pages of "filler" material such as the influence that "Lizzie McGuire" had on the creator of "Phil of the Future". It also has typographical errors that should have been detected by a proof reader that understood the material.
That being said, most 8 to 12-year-olds will not be aware of the book's shortcomings, so I generously gave it 3 stars.
Alyson and Amanda have already provided the best way to understand them - their music.

If you know nothing at all about the subject this may be an alright introduction.  It is written at a middle school level and appears to have been cobbled together from information readily available from internet sources.

Don't bother with this one...

The writing is poorly organized and extremely repetitive. Remember when you were in high school and were trying to stretch an essay out to a certain number of pages by repeating things?...reminds me of that. Plus much of the text is a thinly veiled advertisement for various guide services and stores. You can do way better by simply Googling for good web pages on the subject.

I want to learn about penmanship, not recap the stuff I learned in second grade. This is not worth the money!

Would qualify for a decent school level project for a 14-15 year old but not something fit for commercial sale. Sketchy, and less helpfulthan a quick internet search for information, I want my money back.

Wow, was this a huge disappointment: - this is very "dumbed-down" material.  This is the most rudimentary explanation of stocks you could imagine, more like a high school student's term paper.  There is not a single illustration or diagram in the very sparse 18 pages of this leaflet.  Its not a book.  The only information regarding stock charts refers to how to read the stock report in the financial section of the newspaper.  Not only do few people read newspapers anymore, nobody who is smart gets their price information from the newspaper.  Even at $2.99  for the download,this is a total waste of time and money and you can get much better free information from the beginner tutorials at numerous trading websites.  The "5-star" accolades must be shills hoping to con you into buying.  This is certainly going to make me extremely cautious about downloading other Kindle technical material.  It makes me wonder if Amazon reviews any of this material for legitimacy.  Wikipedia would be a better, free choice for this information or try your local library.

This is a terrible textbook for any person who isn't already familiar with all the concepts in the book. It's as though it was written second hand by a person recalling a conversation about these technologies and not someone at all familiar with them.  Further more, this 6th edition, supposedly from 2014, makes references to statistics about what technology *will* be like in 2008.  I suspect they're not putting much effort into the updates between editions.

They glossary definitions are completely obtuse, often missing the vital information that would give the reader context. For example E-ink is described as a technology that "digitally represents handwriting in its natural form." This tells you nothing at all about what E-ink actually is or why it is an important technology.  In fact, I would go so far as to say it is wholly inaccurate. This entire book feels like my 80 year old grandmother trying to explain how email works. Laughably, the book says continually how fast technology is moving yet I suspect most of the information in this book is at least a decade out of date.

If you are an institution hellbent on teaching a class about a topic you don't understand, at least please pick a textbook on the subject that's accurate and relevant.

There are no "secrets" that are accurate.  Writing, spelling, grammar and syntax are appalling, and accurate citation of sources is nearly nonexistent.  I wouldn't accept this drivel from a sixth grader.
These writers have a very limited understanding of mythology, theology, comparative religions, history, literature or political science.
I bought this book when it was first offered, and it's taken me this long to cool off enough to write a reasoned review.
The authors and their publisher should be ashamed for inflicting this on an unsuspecting public.

This book is written as if the author was a third grade student. Low knowledge of proper grammar, or a very poor editor. Information is just boy scout. A waste of time.

This book is somewhat misrepresented in that it is for ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.  I bought this for a 21-year-old and paid full price ($31.93), so I am returning it.  The book uses a HUGE font, so don't expect to get 128 pages of adult-style information.  Because the font is so large, there really is not that much information on each page.  There is a glossary at the end that appears to be there for a spelling test or vocabulary test.  If you are a teacher and want to introduce the Secret Service to, say, a fifth grade class (I used to teach 5th grade)...you might use this book.  It could also be used for much younger children.  But DO NOT BUY this book for an adult or for yourself if you are trying to learn about careers in this agency.

I am a certified math teacher with 8 year classroom teaching experience and tutoring a student taking this course as home study through Texas Tech.
This book is absolutely horrible!  Pearson should be ashamed to publish this garbage.
The topics are poorly organized, the seem to be just a cut and paste from random sources. There are NO worked out examples, there are no answers to any problems so that the student can check for understanding.
The explanations in appendix on using the TI calculator are incomplete.
There are large gaps coverage of the material.
The support from Texas Tech is equally bad.
The kid I tutor has been trying hard but there no way to learn anything using this text and had to get a tutor to pass the class.

I bought this for my 8th graders for middle school. I'm a title 1 low income school and this is more for high school students or highly advanced middle. I may be able to use a page or 2..... not worth it for the price. I'd rather buy a weeks lesson on teachers pay teachers for this price

Not very well written for an entry-level chemistry book. I ended up just looking most difficult things up online (for free) because the book does such a poor job at explaining them. And the smartworks computer program is horrendous -- probably the worst designed homework software I've ever used.

This is NOT aligned to the Common Core State Standards, as it says in the description.  The CCSS does not ask 6th graders to learn operations with negative numbers.  And, computing with negative number questions are ALL over this book.  Almost to the point of being unusable.  I just really wish publishers would actually make changes to their resources to accurately reflect the CCSS.
