Pamela wants to boost the usefulness of this book and does so by giving assignments at the end of each chapter. These assignments help the newly learned information to stick in the mind.

Remember, just because the information is new to you does not mean it is not correct. One refrain you will find in this book is: Yet, the truth is...
