I wish zero stars was an option and that I could get my money back from this class (the instructor was about as bad). What a condescending, privileged, offensive waste of paper, ending with the author's declaration that when people are talking (not shouting!) they can't hurt each other. If you still believe this, stop chanting sticks and stones and start listening to people. There's certainly a fair amount of worthwhile material in here, but it just begs the question of why this distilled version was necessary, why the authors think that all college students are seventeen and trying to borrow their dad's car tonight, and why any textbook should ever get away with providing terms without defining them, instead taking up the space with eight pages of reprinting the same excerpt. Intentionally.
