DESCRIPTION:
Purpose of the book: separate you from your money??? Patrick Thompson As far as I can tell the prupose of this book is to separate you from a great deal of your money!It has a great deal to say about nothing.

The Turban-Aronson so-called book is as follows:Content - unfocused, left the victim (customer) feeling that the authors were paid by the word. In some instances the book had up to six definitions for a word, and failed to arrive at the best definition!Sequence of Chapters - messy back and forth with the same topic rather than integrating; authors milked the publisher for more pages.Glossary - fails to define the words as described in the chapte
