The APA Manual is a scam
933603
I've been an Academic Mentor involved with editing as many as 50 dissertations and 30 theses over the past 25 years. Many colleges and universities use APA; therefore I have been trying to keep up with the numerous changes and errors over this time. So far, APA has issued editions 5, 6, 6 second printing, and now 7. Seems like every 5 years there is a new edition with completely opposite rules. The teachers get confused, the students get confused, and I'm constantly to trying to follow the rules. I've come to the conclusion that the frequent editions and changes suggested by APA is simply to sell books and make money. For those schools where I have an input to their academic policies, I suggest that 5th Edition is the standard without incorporating further changes.

This "writer" has apparently zero respect for research, accuracy, or the reader. The author also goes by Michael Pace.
I hate myself for buying this.

This "Manual" is a complete waste of money.

The "information" is so basic and sketchy that it is nearly useless to both the novice and the experienced mechanic.

Examples:

1. Front door trim panel removal (section 11-15): Step 2 instructs the user to remove the door handle trim bezel by removing a screw and prying with a screwdriver.  This will surely mangle the bezel and snap off one or more of the three tabs on the back side of the bezel that aren't mentioned anywhere in the text, and which MUST be carefully released in order not to damage the bezel.

2. Front parking light bulb replacement (section 12-21): Step 1 tells the user to remove a mounting screw and then "... pull the side housing outward ..."  This will not work at all, since a heavy plastic lug holding a rearward facing pin will interfere with the opening in the body of the car.  The light housing must first be pushed forward about an inch to release the mounting pin before it can be removed.  This little, but ESSENTIAL and non-obvious, step is never mentioned.

3. While complete instructions are provided for removing the sliding door (section 11-18), no information is provided for diagnosing or repairing the actual problem that I'm having - the power door opening and closing system is behaving erratically.  This manual does not even mention that there is a power door available on this vehicle, nor does it indicate what components (such as a drive motor) are involved, where they are located, or how to remove them!

Alas, it looks like the best recourse is to purchase the phenomenally overpriced (over $100!!) shop manual from the dealer, if you can even get the dealer to order one for you.

I have read many self-help books and this book is a scam.  Check it out from the library or buy used because you don't want to be supporting an author who writes, "Do not read other books besides mine in order to get rich".  What kind of a writer would tell you such a thing who truly cares about your well being and financial success?  The more books you read the wiser and more knowledgeable you become and thus more successful.  This author uses cliche advices such as: don't procrastinate, work hard, etc.  A book that changed my life and helped me succeed is, "Good to Great", which is based on a decade of research by a Standard Professor; I recommend that for getting rich.  This "Science of Getting Rich" book was written by someone who used a catchy title to lure people into emptying their own pockets of time, money and energy into the bank of this scamming selfish author.  It's been two years ago since I've wasted money and time on this book,and being still bothered I had to write this review as a warning/advice for others.  Don't make the same mistake I have, get this book for free or used; this author should not continue earning profit from such effortless work.

This book is like a published copy of the Geany Help file.  Not worth it.

This manual is advertised as 2000-2006.  When you receive this manual, you will see that you actually get a 2003-2006.  This book did me no good, because I have a 2000.  Thumbs down for sure! (A waste of my money. Probably will not order from Amazon again!)

I unfortunately used this book in high school and regret doing so after learning that the authors - Newman and Schmalback- and publisher have maliciously rewrote the constitution to promote their agenda of teaching our children the Constitution according to their liberal viewpoints.  It is an absolute disgrace that this book is publishing false text which is not part of the Constitution.  They frame the Amendments in a fraudulent way in order to misconstrue various Amendments' meanings.  For example, the Second Amendment is one of a few Amendments which are falsely represented.
We must speak with our children's school to request that they no longer utilize this book to teach erroneous and malicious information.  The publisher (Amsco) and authors must not be allowed to teach our children fraudulently false essential information, which they are attempting to do by exploiting the young and vulnerable minds of our youth.  The Constitution is what differentiates our country from the rest and is the most important thing we have... It is what makes us great and we cannot allow anyone - domestic or foreign, in large numbers or small - to change our country's history or the one document which our founding fathers deemed essential to our continued freedom and success as a country.  The Constitution shall remain the same, as it was written and intended, regardless of what anyone's ulterior motives may suggest.

This book is a huge scam. The author is not an expert in the subject matter and you are all much better reading FREE online articles and watching videos about how to stop diabetes. The author is trying to represent himself an expert in the field of nutrition, fitness, and medicine but he has no qualification what-so-ever. Just because I go through a heart surgery it does not make me a heart surgeon and the same applies to this guy. The book is awful. Save your money.

This is a joke.  It is just copies of some old manual and is confusing. A lot of it is illegible.

One simple word: SCAM! This had to be one of the worst study guide books I have ever came across. He mumbles about the same thing over and over again on every chapter. 173 Pgs of BS!

This is more like a pamphlet rather than a book, it is a narrative of someones experience building a structure and the title is deceptive. It is not technical or loaded with architectural instruction or information. It does not have diagrams or schematics about the subject and it is badly written and sometimes hard to understand if you are trying to visualize something that you are going to build. The title Earthbag Architecture is deceitful because I expected instruction, schematics, good photos, plans, and technical expertise on the subject, not a story about "how I built my dream home" and cheezy narration of it. I will be sending this pamphlet back, the price should be $5 dollars, not $18. I found better instructions for free on the internet.

Not worth the paper it is printed on. Each new page repeats the typical cosmetic medical procedures explained in the previous pages. I bought this book based on the interview on the Doctors. There is only one exercise in this book and that one is available on her web site for free download. This entire book is just putting down all typical cosmetic procedures. Her exercise kit starts at about $200 from her web site along with a lot of creams and potions. Because of the way this book was portrayed as being a guide to this method of exercise I do not trust anything she is selling. Go to a bookstore and check it out if you have any doubt before you waste your money. I wish I could get mine back!

Potential buyers should be aware that these works are in PDF format.  While the publisher touts the "searchability" of these files, they have failed to provide some of the most basic tools necessary for actually USING, rather than PERUSING the books and articles.  For example, there is no option to append comments to specific passages, a particularly helpful feature of Acrobat for those of us who are scholars or students.  Another glaring omission is that of the highlighting tool, in addition to bookmarking, underlining, and otherwise annotating the files in question.  Why is this?  Is the publisher so paranoid that they cannot bear to allow purchasers of their product to even use it for fear of some sort of intellectual theft?  If that be the case, then why is the cut and paste option still intact?  The only solution I can think of is sheer incompetence, which may or may not be better than paranoia.

In short, this product MIGHT be marginally suitable for those who merely wish to have Rookmaaker's works in their possession for the purpose of occasional reading.  It is not, however, appropriate for the would-be researcher of Rookmaaker's thought.  A sub-par effort for a great man.  What a waste.

Please do not be fooled as I was.  This book contained no practice test questions.  Zero.  The URL link in the back of the book leads to general test taking info, of which there is already 30+ pages of in the book (140 pages total).

The study guide is so elementary it is not even worth your time if you have the hours to sit for the Certified Specialist in Oncology Nutrition.  Better spend your money on the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Online Oncology Toolkit.

This item is fraudulent and I do not believe Amazon should offer it for sale.  I am asking to have my shipping refunded as well.

Just a waste of money. Nothing here that should have been part of the included instructions.  So few pages and so little print on the page and so little useful information. I really felt this was a scam publication.

Like everyone already said, the book has too many errors and is not worth the paper it is printed on. I went to the Prima website and at first they seemed like they didn't want to do anything about it but post some corrected pdf files of the reference cards that come with the Kollectors edition guide. They expect a customer to waste even more money for reprints to correct their mistakes! And to top it all off, a lot of the pdf file corrections are still wrong! Now after many complaints, Prima is offering to mail out corrected reference cards to unsatisfied customers who bought either the regular or Kollectors editon of the guide.(go to the website if interested) This is a good start, but what about the people who bought the Kollectors edition? I mean we spent $15 more for a useless incorrect guide (if you bought it in a store) to get the same compensation as the people who bought the regular guide! I feel so raped!

This is a terrible misrepresentation of the new exam.

The book describes the new exam format in the introduction but the end-of-chapter questions and sample exams are entirely off base.

The new exam requires significant qualitative reasoning in all questions while every example problem in this book is quantitative. There is one good question in the book, (Sample test 1, question 1) but this question was pulled directly from released College Board materials.

What's more, this book places significant focus on aspects that are not covered in the AP Physics 1 curriculum (most notably: Electric Fields).

5 Steps to a 5 is the most useful resource I've seen for understanding what the new exam will look like.

While I'm sure that some value can be found from the concept reviews in this book and while I'm sure students will benefit from practicing even quantitative problems, this book is in no way a good resource for the AP Physics 1 Exam
