The material is presented in a language too technical
I just took the state exam (and passed!!), I have to say this book is writtenin too much of a technical manner and too many details for it to be an easy read. I felt I had to constantly translate paragrapgs into "plain english" to keep me going ...the material is presented in too much of a "dry" manner. Lots of times it was confusing to understand what was said, it was very contradictory. If you are taking the state exam, I highly recommend that you form a study group to "disect" what all the languge is...

You MUST take the class in order to take the licensing exam.
This is the text book for the class you are required to take AND pass in order to qualify to take the Florida Real Estate Licensing Exam. So don't buy this book if you don't intend to earn your Florida Real Estate License or continue on to broker status. But if you do, you MUST have this book.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!
The rub with this product is that it contains quizes and a review test BUT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE THE ANSWERS!!!!!I spoke with the publisher and I was told that the book is for classroom use only and the answers will not be provided.If you are studying for the FL RE sales exam, this book is virtually usless without the answer key.SHAME ON AMAZON FOR SELLING THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT DISCLOSURE!!

A good starting point
I am currently taking the FREC Salesperson I course and this is the book, as you know, we must use.If you are not taking the State Exam, there is no real reason to buy this book unless you just want to educate yourself.Reason being -- the book's goal, like most of it's kind, is for the student/reader to pass the state exam in the end.Hence, there are probably other books out there that convey similar information that aren't booged down with useless details that only exam takers need to know.

THIS IS THE KEY TO PASSING THE SALESPERSON EXAM
I was reading a few reviews about this book.The answer keys to the end of chapter and practice question at the end of the book are available through your instructor.Please note that this book alone will not allow you to take the state exam without a 63 hour Pre-lic. Course. For those who don't understand the material and want the answers to the questions in the book should ask their instructors when they take the required pre-lic. Salesperson FREC I course.As far as the text book, the text book material is excellent! ... Read more

Florida Criminal Law and Motor Vehicle Handbook 2004 Edition
This book was up-to-date and covers everything from Criminal law, motor vehicle laws & related statutes. This is a must for anyone in law enforcement in Florida. Also great study material for state law enforcement certification test.....

Great guide for Florida Police Officers
This is an abbreviated guide to Florida State Statutes and Motor Vehicle Laws. It is a great tool to use when referencing elements of a statute as well as the statute number. It is easily carried in your duty bag, and has an index to quickly locate statutes by name instead of number. It's obviously dry reading, but a very useful reference tool none the less. ...

A must have book for new business startups!
Like many new business owners, i am starting a business in florida and have been overwelmed with the rules and laws as it applies to what i need to do, when i need to do it and how to do it.

This book has chapters dealing with choosing your type of business, naming the business, business licenses, insurance, health and safety codes, employment laws, contract laws, payment and collections, advertising, book keeping and accounting, federal taxes, state taxes, out-of-state taxes, selling company stock, etc.

The only reason i didnt give this book a 5 star rating was because of the business forms. I purchased a similiar book from SphinxLegal called "Incorporate in Florida" and that book covered subject matter step-by-step, then referenced a template in the back of the book and explained how to complete that template and when to complete it. So with regards to incorporating my business, i knew what paperwork to file, how to file it, when to file it, how to complete the paperwork, what paperwork to keep etc. It was written very precise, step by step.

But, this particular SPhinxLegal book about starting a business in Florida isnt as detailed. It provides some business forms in the back of the book. But, it didnt provide the step by step instructions for using them, when to use them, how to use them etc. Also the forms werent as complete. For example, it doesnt have a contractor agreement contract or vendor agreement contract or service provide contract or employee application form or examples of basic company policies that are needed for Labor or HR issues discussed int he book.

The book is great for understanding the law and operating a business. but, it doesnt go far enough in providing materials to help you accomplish this. It does reference some organizations that can help you.

Overall, this is a must read! But, it wont be a complete source for success, you will need to get another book or two to expand your understanding of specific areas. ... Read more

Book Description
The Hebrew Bible was written by authors who had a very modern idea of basic biology and a deep insight into the functioning of fragile ecosystems. They had a well-founded concept of how nature should be treated so that it would not be degraded but preserved and handed over intact to the next generation. To achieve this goal the sages did not rely on a general feeling of benevolence towards nature but came up with a cogent system of laws which precisely directed their way of handling natural resources. The main goals of these ecological commandments of the Torah were to avoid overuse of the land and to maintain a high diversity of species. This program enabled the Israelites to establish a highly productive sustained agriculture under the rather adverse conditions of a "land of milk and honey." ... Read more
