[Chris Herdt · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is one of the worst textbooks I have ever had the displeasure of reading, much less paying $158 for--it needs a fact-checker, a copy editor, and an editor. The problem may stem from changes to a previous edition, but it looks like some data was updated and other data was not. Also, the chapter summaries were clearly written by people who did not read the chapters themselves.

Here is a choice excerpt, from page 484:
"If the EU is the standard by which the success of NAFTA must be measured, then NAFTA is a success, especially compared to the EU."

Worst chapters so far: 2, 9, 12, 15.

The author should be embarrassed, as should the publisher.

Comprehensive, not-too-boring. A bit outdated in terms of research used. Overall - easy and useful read.
