Reviews

[Potterbert]

It's a textbook. It's not going to be a great read, although this one was fairly interesting with beautiful colored pictures. It has a lot of information and includes guides for essay writing, note taking, and reading checks to test your memory for the chapters.

I actually enjoyed this for a textbook. The text was engaging and the many graphs in the book really supported the text.

Then again, it's a textbook.
