(Review of a previous edition) -- Robert J. Sternberg 19920701 This is a very accessible publication, it is well presented, with illustrations to clarify difficult points. (review of a previous edition -- Reference Reviews 19890901 the book is a boon for serious students and an ideal companion for examination revision.
