Old and out sated. Don't wast your time.

This is really old work and most of this should have been updated by now but hasn't been. I got an hour or so in but it was quite bland and so much incorrect info I stopped it.

don't waste your time reading this rubbish

was definitely written predominantly for a male audience. extremely dated in the data and information provided. I admit to not knowing if this book improves, I only got through the first few chapters and decided it was not for me.
