Had to read it for school but it was interesting on learning about the topics

[Erin]

I needed this book for one of my college classes but I found so many grammar and spelling mistakes it was ridiculous! The material was interesting but I can't get past all of the mistakes. It was almost like nobody bothered to edit this book! Two stars.

Up to date and comprehensive as an introductory school text, or for general information reading.
