5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Educational Tool
Reviewed in the United States on 27 February 2020

I purchased this book as a requirement for graduate school. At first I dreaded reading it, like most do in school. I ended up using this book through my entire two years in school, and found it to be the most educational tool. The book was in amazing condition! I couldn't recommend this book enough. I will give everyone a warning: with every new addition, some of the theories are removed or added. The books website is amazing and has additional information.

4.0 out of 5 stars This expensive book arrived damaged

The content was not the problem. This new & expensive book, I had to buy for school, arrived with a creased & crumpled front & back cover. So much for resale when I finish the class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Used for class, nice read

Like many students, I don't like reading textbooks. However, this textbook was actually enjoyable to read. The way the theories are written is easy to understand and I like the personal examples the author gives. I usually hate reading theories since the way some are written can be very confusing, but again, these are easy to comprehend. Not to mention, the chapters are not very long compared to some other textbooks. This made reading the chapters for class nice, too. Short, sweet, and to the point.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd be lost without Amazon!

Thank you Amazon!!! You literally saved my college experience! I purchased the wrong book (for international students outside of the US) and my classmate told me to look at the green book. I downloaded your PC kindle edition and rented this book. Thank you again.

This is why I recommend everyone to shop on Amazon. This is the greatest and most rewarding experience ever!
