Let's get it straight from the onset that Dan's books are written for and aimed at novice photographers who simply want to produce better images than pointing and pressing the shutter button.  Most beginners assume that they have to settle for whatever light is available.  Dan clearly shows this is not the case and demonstrates how the options available - hard light, filtered light, fill light, make a tremendous difference in the end result.  Constructive exercises help in learning the techniques necessary.  There is an excellent bonus section on composition that only adds to the value of the book.  I've been at all this for too long to have learned anything stunningly new; but the material is extremely well organized and is a terrific review of essentials.
