    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Mike Markel writes the Detectives Seagate and Miner Mystery series, which is set in the fictional small city of Rawlings, Montana, home of Central Montana State University. That university is somewhat like Boise State University, where Mike taught writing, but in Rawlings the weather is colder, the football team less successful, and the murder rate much, much higher.

    Mike lives in Kirkland, WA.

This is an evaluation copy, so may not match up with your course exactly. It sill had everything my instructor referenced, I just had to look around to find it. It worked for me, may not work for all.

4.0 out of 5 stars and I find this book to be easy to navigate and very well-written
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018
Verified Purchase
Five weeks into the semester, and I find this book to be easy to navigate and very well-written. The author is obviously well-versed in the subject matter, as it all has seemed relevant and applicable to real-world situations. The chapters are organized and thorough. For example, the chapter on correspondence is broken out into sections on writing letters, memos, emails and microblogs. It covers most any format one will use.

Additionally, the samples that the author uses tend to be tightly interwoven with the subject at hand; that should be common sense, but some textbooks use samples that don't tie together all the aspects of the lesson. Sidebars highlight important pieces of the text.

I am a returning student, out of the classroom (even virtually) for about 30 years, and I find this book readable and informative.

1.0 out of 5 stars The rental thing is not a great deal via Amazon
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
I'm reviewing this as a rental, not the textbook itself. I rented this book through May 13th. On March 12th I received a message that my rental had expired. I tried to get in touch with Amazon - to no avail. I thought it was entirely I had made a mistake when purchasing, but when I looked at the original purchase, it showed May 13th as the day of return. Left no choice (my midterm was looming) I rented the book again, only to find it contained all my bookmarks, etc, from before. Basically I spent just as much as if I had bought a hard copy used, and I'm still not entirely sure they won't randomly yank the book back again, since there seems to be no recourse for that. As a textbook...it's an average textbook. The rental thing is not a great deal via Amazon, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great price but the book was in a bad condition
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018

This is a great price but the condition of the book is horrible. The package was outside for all of an hour and it did not rain at all during that time. Yet when I opened the package (about 5 minutes ago) the book was falling apart and has obvious water damage. The book is completely dry but the pages are wrinkled from water and there is ink that has bleed across the cover as seen in the photo. The quality of the book I received was horrible. The words are still legible but the binding of the book is peeling.

Received exactly what was described by seller. It is only the book; no launch pad, no disc, no codes or any other bells & whistles. It is the latest version of the book by Mike Markel that was needed for my son's college class. Considering the cost of college books, this seller offered a fair price. The fair price and the faster ship time was the deciding factor.
