The book is good as a reference material with examples & case studies. As it is an old edition this book also enlivens old concepts and stories which is good for teaching material.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why is the search feature not enabled on this text?
Reviewed in the United States on 20 March 2015
Verified Purchase
The search feature is not available on this book which is the only reason I bought the digital version of the book. I wish I would have been notified of this before my purchase so I could have bought the hard copy of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kind of boring but I needed it for class

This book isn't the most interesting read, but it makes its point and is easy to understand. Overpriced but hey, that's how school books are.
