Title: Necessary, but useless
Review: I was really looking forward to the class this book was necessary for. And while I learned a lot of interesting material, almost none of it was from the text. Nothing that i'm going to carry away from this class was learned from the book. While it gave the trival bits of information that were located in the test material, most of those you could gather from simple common sense. If you want to get anything out of a class using this as a text, hope your prof. likes to lecture. Otherwise... you're really going to hate it.
