The range and variety of categories presented in this text make the book both unusual and informative. The author has not only used his sorting process to assist the prospective student in defining particular schools of interest, but has also increased the number of schools to be considered. The reader can easily take the initial information gathered here and target institutions for further research. Kathy Bonnar
