Customer Reviews

Great but incredibly buggy--our class dropped the online part for grading
After paying a GAULING 150$ for this book, I would have to say that first impressions were not too good. Over the first few chapters I came to appreciate the quality of the material. It is interesting and quite complete. I actually enjoy the textbook as well as the videos.


The online component is another matter. The servers are OFTEN OVERLOADED while you are trying to get homework done for a deadline. In addition, the online grading is POOR. No one took the time to carefully create multiple alternative answers to sentences.

For 150$ the online material is brutally not ready for primetime. My instructor made all the graded material credit/no credit because it was so unreliable.

EXPIRED EDITION, DO NOT BUY!
I bought this book trying to save some money. Turns out that this is the kind of book that is best purchased either new, or slightly used. The title of the book is confusing (this particular edition is no longer used and it comes with a workbook and an internet key which can only be used once, so either way I lost time and money. This is a great place to buy books, but this particular one is simply out of date and has been revised with the same title which can be a little tricky.

not recommended... to anyone
I purchased this book for $150... by far the most I have ever paid for a book for a Gen Ed class. The pages are way too colorful and very tough on the eyes. They are mostly occupied by pictures with very little substance or thought provoking information in them. This book is a racket, plain and simple...

bleh... how is this stuff not against the law?
