Do you recommend any of these chapters and if so, why aren???t they on the website? I have the 5th edition so I don???t know if there???s any discrepancies. If you don???t recommend these chapters, let me know. I???ve attached a picture of the table of contents so you can see exactly what I???m talking about.
