Reviews / Votes
'It is even more comprehensive than before, yet remains firmly focused on the instrumental demands of students. It can be picked up voluntarily and read for pleasure. Few technical publications justify such an accolade, yet in Rice's case it is well deserved'Ted Johns, CIM Senior Examiner, Understanding Customers
