Editorial Reviews

Solid...Just Solid

This is a great book to add to your study materials. The book has a briefing section in the beginning of each chapter followed by multiple choice questions and more importantly PASSAGES. This book even shows how to cut corners so you do not waste needed time. Strongly recommended if you are like me and need additional aid in the physical science area of your studies.
