My book has been so helpful to me and has improved my grades.. Not a good book for those attempting to pass the CSET without having a degree in math. One other gripe is that the 315 Commander is not included. The extraordinary thing about Julia Whitty's book is that it allows the reader a unique view into the underwater world of the coral reef. This was a much-needed book since most of the literature regarding the animals and identification keys was scattered in sometimes hard to access publication, many of the commonly used references were severely outdated.. I ordered this book before it was published, and just received it.When buying cook books I fall into two categories: (1) Wanting lots of pictures, mainly so I can ignore most of the recipes and just use the pictures as inspiration, and (2) Wanting no pictures, but lots of quality recipe ideas.This book falls into the second category - there are no pictures. I highly recommend this book to all contemporary romance readers. Should get you moving in the right direction post h
