This book was easy to read and well paced. My class was, for the most part, based on the Learning Objectives in the book, which were made easy to find by editors who made sure that you could just skim the chapter to get a great deal of information on the topic. Definitions were added to the margins, which made new words easily accessible.

Unfortunately, this was yet another book that was not a book so much as a collection of looseleaf papers that I had to purchase a binder for. In theory this would have saved me money. Unfortunately, the price was still over a hundred dollars. My binder's binding promptly broke, which made it quite difficult to turn the page. This lead to me taking out chapters and reading them separately, an idea that is not terrible, except sometimes I would lose a page. Further, the constant opening and closing of the binder caused it to break further. I hate this sadistic trend in textbooks.… (altro)
