GET THIS BOOK!!!.......2007-07-27
This is one of the best books on the market. I wish I could give the author more than 5 stars!
Good Study Tool.......2007-05-09
If you are having trouble with your study, then this book is a great tool to use to prepare you for taking the real estate exam.
Excellent.......2006-05-26
I passed the salesperson test exam (general questions) after studying through this book! For the state law part I recommend studying through more specific books for your state. 100% of the questions on the general part of my exam were covered in this book. Great buy!
The Best Tutor I've Found!.......2005-11-05
Extremely useful for learning the information needed to pass the real estate salesperson exam. Up to date and accurate text. Well written, user-friendly style. Questions and answers at the end of each chapter add to undertsanding and confidence. Outstanding glossary, great practice exams. All 5 stars are well deserved. Highly recommended.
Time for a New Editor.......2005-09-19
I made it through the first 50 pages of this book, after which I returned it because of the mistakes in its text and at times poorly worded review questions. For example, this book lists Washington state as a state that allows tenancy by the entireties, which is a method of property ownership by a married couple that is legal in some states (see pg. 48, 7th ed., copyright 2005). Washington state does NOT allow tenancy by the entireties as evidenced by my Washington state specific text book I received from the pre-licensing course I am taking here in Washington, "Tenancy by the entireties is not recognized in community property states such as Washington, and it has been abolished in a number of other states as well." (Washington Real Estate Fundamentals, pg. 31; 12th Edition, Copyright 2005; Rockwell Publishing). Dearborn Publishing also puts out a book entitled "Washington Real Estate Basics" which also indicates that Washington does not allow tenancy by the entireties, "Because Washington is a community property state, tenancy by the entirety is not recognized." (pg. 62, Copyright 2002; Dearborn Financial Publishing, Inc.). I believe this is a clear example of poor editing. It is one of many examples I could provide from this book. Pre-license books have a lot to say about real estate law and general facts about the business. It is imperative that the books are accurate for obvious reasons. While I'm sure much of this book is accurate, I have lost trust in the accuracy of the book which causes me to question every assertion it makes. In my opinion this book needs a better editor and perhaps more responsible authors, and then it would likely be quite helpful. Until then, you should be prepared to be at least partially misinformed if you rely on it for your pre-license education.
If you need books similar to this, Dearborn Publishing seems to have good books on the subject. For example, "Modern Real Estate Practice" is a great start. They also put out a study guide (lots of practice questions to test your retention) and an audio CD set both of which accompany this title and help one review the information (by the way, this is the only audio CD set I've been able to find on the basics of Real Estate; it is just a review of the material as opposed to indepth lectures, but that's better than nothing). They also have many pre-license books specific to given states. Amazon carries many of their products, but if you want a full list of their Real Estate books/materials, (...)visit their book store, then come back to Amazon to buy'm as chances are you can get them here for cheaper! Also, check the schools in your state that provide pre-licensing education (make sure to find a good school!), as chances are they will provide you with a text book that is accurate. Good luck.

.....but this one fits in your pocket.......2002-02-12
The Table of Contents of this book is nearly indentical to the "Code of Federal Regulations" issued by the Justice Department and provided free of charge to anyone who asks for it. But at roughly 6x9 inches, it doesn't fit in my pocket. So if the pocket thing is important to you, I highly recommend this book!
ADA Compliance Simplified!.......2001-04-15
This little book is easy to carry around and contains all of the ADAAG info you could ever need! I've been using mine for 2 years and would be lost without it! Thomas Schmokel - ADA Consultant
Get a grip on ADA, pocket size........2000-12-28
Are you tired of tracking down the office copy of the ADA standards? Is the only copy within the workstation of King Tornado? Get your hands on this little number. Keep it by you at all times. I have used this reference guide for two years now and it has saved me a lot of time. This is a very easy to use condensed version of the state issued ADA guide. It is accurate and reliable and it does not have to go back to the office library. And don't let the words "pocket guide" scare you off, this is not a brochure, it is a book. It's just smaller and smarter, not to mention lighter than the stardard issue. So get a grip on ADA, pocket size.

Customer Reviews:
Bravo!.......1999-06-11
A great reference book for those needing to decipher hazardous waste regulatory jargon. I've wasted my money on other so-called interpretive guides, which merely summarized the law. Ho hum. Wagner's book goes much further to explain and decipher the regulations, not just the law. Very helpful!
Finally, a book that fully and correctly explains RCRA!.......1999-01-26
A colleague shared this book with me to help explain some meaty aspect of RCRA. I finally understand what is required so that I can talk intelligently with the regulators. I subsequently went out and purchased my own copy. This book is great as a reference. I highly recommend you obtain a copy if you are as mystified by the RCRA regs as most of us are.
Customer Reviews:
Helped ME pass the test........2004-10-26
This is an excellent general introduction to the principles of California real estate. I passed the broker's exam on the first try with no experience as a real estate salesperson and no cram course. This book was a great help in preparing for it. A large percentage of the test questions deal with the principles covered in this book.
Horrible explanations.......2003-01-28
This book is not a very in-depth book on the principles of california real estate. It covered topics only very breifly, and really sped through them with not a whole lot of explanation. I would highly advise buying a different book if you intend to pass the CA Real Estate Licensing Exam.

ASIN: 0471252727 |
Book Description
Praise for The NEPA Planning Process
"The most comprehensive and detailed guide to the effective, as well as efficient, administration of NEPA to date."—Lynton K. Caldwell Consultant to the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs 91st Congress, 1968-70.
"Eccleston . . . has provided a commonsense guide for managers that illuminates the NEPA process with lucid discussions and commonsense guidance on how to navigate some of the most difficult challenges in NEPA practice."—Frederic March Environmental Scientist Sandia National Laboratories.
"Here is the essential book for every NEPA practitioner. The NEPA Planning Process explains the process for preparing adequate and effective impact statements, and for complying with NEPA's statutory requirements. . . . Especially recommended."—Daniel R. Mandelker Stamper Professor of Law Washington University.
As the first modern federal environmental statute, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was passed by Congress in 1969. All federal agencies must comply with NEPA's sweeping mandate. Yet, amazingly, until now, there has been no authoritative, single-source guide for navigating the complexities of the NEPA process. Authored by the leading national expert on the subject, this book fills that gap in the literature.
The first comprehensive guide of its kind, The NEPA Planning Process offers clear, detailed explanations of all relevant requirements, with emphasis on managing and enhancing the effectiveness of federal planning. Designed to save hours of painstaking research while minimizing costs and risk of litigation, it integrates critical information from hundreds of sources—including the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ)'s NEPA regulations and guidance, presidential and EPA directives, case law, recent research from nationally recognized experts, and the professional experiences of NEPA practitioners.
The NEPA Planning Process is an indispensable professional resource for environmental scientists and engineers engaged in NEPA practice. It is also a valuable working resource for project planners, regulators, citizens groups, and attorneys.
Book Description
This guide contains practice questions, practice tests, special examinations on contracts, closing statements and the Rectangular survey.
Customer Reviews:
Outdated.......2002-12-15
This book has outdated materiel that is incorrect and may lead to possible wrong answers on the exam. The book is 5 years old and the laws regarding real estate have changed. Should stick to the newer books out there for exam review.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FLORIDA REAL ESTATE EXAMS.......2002-10-10
THIS BOOK CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION i.e. CH. 4 illustrates "Dual Agency " and Figure 4-2 has a dual agency form. Dual Agency has been illegal in Florida since October 1997.A Transaction Brokerage relationship requires "limited confidentiality" but there is no mention of this either. This publication requires and up to date edition.

Not detailed enough for broker exam.......2007-05-29
It might be great for the salesperson exam, but it just doesn't have the detail for the brokers exam. I have to take the test again.
Do Not Expect to Pass the California Brokers Exam By Reading This Book Alone!.......2006-07-15
I just passed the California Brokers Examination on my first try. I am an attorney and have no real estate background and I do not have a real estate sales license. (In fact I hated Real Property in law school and avoid practicing in this area.) I read a few primer books including this one to see what would be on the exam. I read this Barron's book all the way through and answered all of the test questions. I the took the Real Estate Trainers Course in Santa Ana, on the advise of a girlfriend who is a broker and who took their course. They offer a crash courses in LA, Orange County and in Northern Cal. I took the course, read the big book they give you; did all of the exam questions (Over 1500); attended the crash course seminar twice and took the test. The courses and practice exams Real Estate Trainers gave, made the test easy.
When I took the Real Estate Trainer's Course I realized that this Barrons book is only good to lay out the general areas that are on the actual test. However, you can not use this book alone to the pass the test. The questions in this book are too easy and don't reflect how hard the questions actually are. You can use it for general information purposes only but some of the areas in the Barron's book overemphasis areas that the actual test spends little or no time on.
In that the pass rate for the exam is between 30 and 38%, I would prepare the best you can. Save your money and find this book in the local library and check it out. (Many libraries have it.) Read and take a brokers exam course.
Do Not Buy This Book.......2006-03-17
Like the previous reviewer I studied this book in detail, took all the exams which totaled over 1000 questions, scoring over 90% on each exam and still flunked the Broker's Exam. This after having passed the State Bar exam for attorneys on the first try. This book did not cover even 10% of what was on the exam. I emailed the authors and they never responded. This book is a complete piece of garbage. You cannot count on it for anything.
Basic Fundamentals, but not sufficient exam prep .......2006-02-14
The questions in the theoretical exams do not reflect what you will find on the actual test. If you use this book alone to prepare, there is a good chance you will fail the exam. In general, the questions will help you to grasp some fundamentals, but you will need to go over some more realistic test questions to prepare.
Not for the exam.......2005-12-20
I studied this book for my first broker's exam on December 14, 2005 at the Pasadena Center and failed. I solved and reviewed twice all the chapter problems and all of the exam sets in the book. I was very confident that I could answer correctly on all the questions in the book. But the questions on the actual exam were nothing like the ones in the book. The questions on the actual exam were much longer and harder. They required much deeper knowledge than what the book presented. It was like the authors never have seen the actual exam. This is a real estate knowledge book, not an exam prep book. I have wasted my time and money because of this book. What could an exam prep book do worse if a book not only does not help, but also misleads about the actual exam? Please do not buy this book to study for the exam. This is a shame on the famous name 'Barron's'. Do not be a victim like me. Hope my and my family's suffer would do some good by letting other people know not to buy this book.
