Book Summary of Spectrum's Handbook For General Studies 2012 (Paper I)
The book in its present form gives the most comprehensive possible treatment of the admittedly vast area entitled 'General Studies', subject, of course, to the limitations of space. In an undertaking of this magnitude, it is always possible, though regrettable, that some error may creep in despite all the care and sincere effort involved in the production of the work. It would be of great help to us if our readers communicate to us their doubts and send in constructive criticism and suggestions to improve the book for its next edition.
