From the Preface
This textbook has been prepared to aid in instructional programs in high schools, technical schools, trade schools, and community colleges. Adult evening classes and apprenticeship programs may also find it useful. This book provides over 800 questions, multiple-choice, true-false and some scrambled words to aid in name recognition. This book should be especially helpful to those studying on their own or in formal classes for the certification exams offered by the ARI, NATE, and others.
The book has been organized for quick recognition and for ease in locating material desired. A glossary has been provided for those who like to learn more than required of them. The scrambled words can be a mind teaser and an educational tool in expanding your vocabulary and stretching your brain power.
Once the answers have been filled in, the book still has value in aiding those who want to review or dig deeper into this field of knowledge.
Note how additional information has been provided for each chapter for an extended or, in some cases, deeper coverage of the material. This book does not guarantee you will pass any test by studying its contents. It does have the ability to extend your knowledge of your field and expand your thinking power so that you will be better equipped to learn what is necessary to become a master of your specialty and trade.
