This is a pretty solid book with very valuable info if you are working in organizing.

Well researched and organized text with easy to reproduce diagrams. The comics about stuff like psychoanalysis and its lack of scientific integrity would be funnier if were weren't learning how to more effectively cook the books for program funding.

Very well written book. Made research easier.

I'm admittedly jaded from the professor of the course, so that being said, I felt this text, like the professor was "meh."
