"I read this in preparation of the Foreign Service Officer Test. I have to say, it covers just about every possible subject. I found it very helpful and it was written in an easily understood manner. I'd recommend this to everyone, especially students."
"Great book to have around to learn a little bit about everything. Great basic reference book. I made sure my kids got a personal copy of this book when they went into high school."
