Keep it on your shelf forever!By Richard J. AlbertI was introduced to this book as an undergrad. Nearly twenty-five years later; I picked it up and re-read the most important chapters; and I feel even more confident about this recommendation.Prof. Hodges book gives you a way of working -- immediately -- and thats good; especially for someone going out there for the first time.
