1.0 out of 5 stars
Find a better book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Disaster Planning and Recovery: A Guide for Facility Professionals (Hardcover)
(Note: I had to enter a number of stars for this review. Actually, this book deserves NO STARS!) Unfortunately, I had to purchase this book for a class on private sector issues. This is a horrible book. I do not recommend this book to anyone. The author cannot write. The author cannot communicate. If you have to explain in parenthesis what you just said, face it -- you're not communicating. This book is disorganized, redundant and much of the text unnecessary. The terminology used is cumbersome. But what really concerned me were the grammatical errors. I wonder if Wiley employs any copyeditors! You find sentences like: "Many of this ilk are potential problems are in the realm..." (pg. 119); "If a is plan is in place..." (pg. 122); " ...as low as -- or in the same manner as -- as sprinkler systems..." (277); "The forth domain..." (pg. 283 - shouldn't that be fourth?). There are so many other examples, I don't have space to list them all. Suffice it to say, this book is bad. If you need a book on facility management in a crisis, get it from FEMA and the American Red Cross. Theirs is actually useful.
