This guide is excellent at giving writers, particularly beginners, solid, specific information on how to do just one thing.  There is a minimal amount of theory, and every instruction is accompanied by good examples from published writers.  Active setting is one of those writerly things that add so much to a book, but are generally not noticed by the reader unless they are 1) badly done, or 2) omitted.  Setting, correctly done, adds mood, texture and feel to a novel.  Mary Buckham has provided a clear, easy-to-assimilate guide on precisely how to get this necessary job done.
