I'm not sure. I've only made it through the table of contents. It looks like what I want.
It's probably worth the read. I don't like the fact that Amazon is forcing me to write this review with no less than 18 words. It's too bad because the book isn't being reviewed here it's Amazon. How's that for 18 words Amazon?
