Ratings and reviews

DO NOT USE!! 1 star is too much for this book. As an engineering student, this book is awful. The questions barely apply to the reading, they often ask about things that are barely mentioned. Or they use phrases and words in the questions that are not actually in the reading!! The writer is horrible at confirming information, or explaining it decisively. It often goes around and around without actually saying anything useful. It is a very hard read, because of its vagueness. Do not use this book, unless you want to confuse the crap out of your students. I am taking this class online, and this is the reference book, I am actually losing my hair because of the stress caused by this book, and I am a 4.0 student!!! An absolutely dreadful book!!!!!

This text is repetitive, poorly structured and sexist - time for a complete overhaul!
