This is so horrible! I don't know why they teach it in some universities. The information here are random, general, and are not useful in real life.. such as what to put on your desk and search the library...

The most boring book I've ever studied

[Mansoureh.Araani · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although the book seems outdated, nevertheless the author's wisdom in organizing applied ideas in text in general principles makes it useful regardless of publication date.

Very outdated. Had to study it for uni.

[Toofan · Rating 2 out of 5]

In a nut shell it is terribly outdated and does not suit the needs of this area. The only part which is still usable is the chapter about word formation, though much better information on this subject can be found on the web.
