- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2021great condition
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2018Book was in great condition
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018Got it on time. Good price
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2020I bought the e book only to discover that you can only use it on two Kindle devices! This is extremely annoying. Pearson the publisher is a trash company, who does not value their customers and their greedy lawyers and make decisions that are bad. I will encourage my faculty to choose a different publisher in the future. To add insult to injury the ebook is crippled and you can no longer scroll vertically like normal other books.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2017Quality product at a great price
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017The two device limit is annoying. If you're mobile and stationary you must decide very precisely how your going to manage the reading period. Audio version should be included to get through the material in a condensed course. Quite academic, dense, and dry. Great content if you can get through it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019The item was water damaged and has mold on the book, some pages stick together because of the pages being wet in the past. The fact that this book has MOLD on it , it should have NEVER BEEN SOLD.
I am not happy with the item especially the price that I paid for it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2022Unbelievably boring and redundant. Every second I spend reading this awful book feels like an eternity.
