Textbook This book is a good book if you are taking a class that requires it. It is easy to read and understand. I would have liked to know that it was supposed to have a cd with it. It did not come with the cd. Overall the book was as expected. | ||
I've seen better The tenth edition is not very well organized. Overall, a very boring book. | ||
Okay, but other books are out there. Like I said in a precious review, I like National University, but they could have chosen a different book. I am Caucasian, white, Christian, heterosexual, male, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and let me tell you, this book will make it seem that the whit people in this country are racist bigots. And that we are trying to indoctrinate every single child that comes to America while keeping all the other people in lower classes. That is how I felt. I was shocked by how biased this book is. I am beginning to think that the publishers Allyn and Bacon have an agenda. One of the only topics I liked about this book is the short parts at the end of each chapter that tells the reader different ideas for making a professional portfolio. But, I can imagine that there are other books better. | ||
Okay, for a Textbook This book wasn't too bad, considering it is a textbook. If you're forced to read it for class, take heart! It's not too boring--once you get started, it actually moves pretty quickly, and you will learn a lot. If this isn't required for a class, I would not suggest curling up in front of the fireplace with this book, or, really, reading it at all, unless you're really into learning more about the basics of American Education. | ||
