First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Books now compete with web-based electronic resources, and the challenge for authors and publishers is how to provide accurate and timely information with sufficient depth and breadth to be useful in the workplace. A book of this type therefore has to compromise between size and detail, demonstrate balance in selection of material, and appeal to a globalised world. In many respects, Paul Marino succeeds in this task.
