A glossary of terms would have been very useful. For my tired eyes

The authors intro to each chapter seems self serving, nothing to do with the chapter itself, just some pointless ramblings. Author assumes at times you know where certain buttons are  and that you know a lot of Elements software terminology. A glossary of terms would have been very useful.  For my tired eyes, most screen shots are difficult to read, had to use a magnifying glass but then having larger photo examples would have meant a bigger book.  Maybe this is an instructional book for someone who has been thru previous books, but will be tough for someone new to Elements.
Not sure about better options as this is the only book I have on my software.

There was some useful information in the book, but much of it was either difficult to understand or hard to see its relevance. Also, the vocabulary words included in the book were given no definitions, so the reader was left to decipher what they meant from the context clues (which weren't very helpful). Overall, it's an okay book, but I can't say that I would use it again.

Just Okay  I thought there might be more information about the actual work descriptions of the period might be given.

I like the Dictionary just fine, I would had given it 5 Stars if it wasn't missing some important Medical Terminology Words and Definitions. Thank you

Title made it sound good, but the book tries to cover too much territory in too little depth. Terms from
applique, crochet, embroidery, knitting, quilting and sewing are all mixed in. I was especially interested in
crochet terms and definitions, but there isn't much useful here.  Really a surface treatment.  Probably more useful for embroiderers than anyone else.

Some good ideas for those suffering from insomnia, but I was hoping for more details on specific solutions. It does not come across as a book written by a real doctor. The book contained a few misspelled words, like "double pain windows."  Proper editing would have made the book come off more professional.

This is ok as a very basic dictionary, but it definitely does not have a well-rounded listing of words/definitions.  I'm looking again for a more thorough one.

I think that this product helped to get an understanding on how the test will be, but just wish it wasn't so wordy.

My earlier version simultaneously showed synonyms / antonyms along with the definition.  I would prefer this "newer" version did at least as well as my previous one.

This book could be better.

The title of this books sound interesting and appropriate, given the huge demand (both regulatory and business needs) for Solvency II and economic capital calculation and (risk) capital analysis in the insurance  sector. Despite its title, Handbook of Solvency for Actuaries and Risk Managers: Theory and Practice, the author missed out on providing real value on the Practice. That is, the implementation aspects, especially for managers. I feel the main focus on the book has been on the theory and little on practical applications: implementation and measurement. For example, on each of the areas of (or models for) Solvency II modeling (or economic capital modeling), the author could have provide sample data input, key parameters, key model assumptions, key model drivers and output. This approach would have been valuable for risk managers, executives, and analysts entering the field. Instead, the book provides lots of theory and regurgitates information on Solvency II regulation, formulae and history behind those, focusing almost exclusively on theory.

I would say that the section that regurgitates the Solvency II policy could be useful to those that want this information laid out in a book for them. I welcome this inclusion in the appendix but the heart of the book should have included implementation and measurement as mentioned above. That truly would have made this book a real Handbook on Solvency II.

A missed opportunity!

The definitions in this dictionary are easy enough for my 11 year old to understand, however I am VERY frustrated by the words that are missing from this dictionary.  I'm trying to find a dictionary with middle school level vocabulary words with definitions that are understandable for her.  I bought this, but I'm still looking.

I agree with all of the positive feedback on the speaking dictionary, but in addition I have one wish-list item.  I wish some of the definitions were broader.

Example:  pe.jo.ra.tive noun (1882): a pejorative word or phrase

I wish the speaking dictionary would have added an adjective definition.

This product may be a great Cheat Sheet, but it is very hard to read.  Yes, I am getting older, but I do wear bi-focals.  Perhaps they could make a larger font one for we folks who are needing it.

Maybe I am not the brightest bulb :) , but it was NOT quite as easy as I was hoping to grasp the seven concepts.  I wish that he would have elaborated a little more.

I could have gotten this information from a Google search.

Not bad if all you want is a large book of definitions with little how to.

I guess it was kind of hard to follow, but I just looked at the summary at the back, and it made more sense.  It was very detailed, and I had to sift through all the "office jargon" and got a little frustrated, so I just went to the summary. That was very helpful.
