This one is. And it might be the best textbook I've ever had.
I'll be entering a doctoral program this fall and thought I'd use this book as a means to get ahead. What I appreciate is the clarity of writing and the examples (amazing examples) he uses to explain the concepts. I was most concerned about the quantitative /statistics portions but he did a great job of breaking down the material. Overall I'm very glad I bought this book and will be keeping it as a resource.
