These books all so good, they were stolen from me by Davis ca police. They abduct me from my home, slap on 5150, mandatory court ordered drugging...these books vanish...too hot to handle...I durance will cover loss as I'm just buying more used, prime, smile...once I get new identity...they stold THAT too... Hot dang.

This was purchased for a class. Came in on time (first day of estimated delivery). Book looked new. No markings that I have noticed. the bottom right of the book was bent in shipment, but i am positive that had to do with my post office. Started reading the book and was surprised how interesting it was to me.

Book is acceptable but the supplementary info provided (PowerPoints) by professors on behalf of the company were riddled with errors. I emailed the company jblearning but I'm sure it's futile.

Ok at best. Lacks concrete, helpful information to navigate the challenges of cultural communication.
