I got this book for a course I am taking. Unfortunately, there are several excepts and related material that are omitted from the Kindle edition due to "Copyright Restrictions". The book itself is quite good, but if you end up being quizzed on or otherwise need these sections, you may be caught with your proverbial pants down. I wonder how long before publishers realize that these hassles are often the reason why people don't trust purchasing digital material. should NOT sell this as the "Kindle Edition" of the printed book without at least clearly advertising that the book is missing material.
This is a really great deal. Each chapter in the book has the *manual* pages so you don't need to buy each product separately. You'll save a lot by buying this book (unless you find a friend who already has the hardcover book, then you can buy a used workbook).The only difference from the hardcover book is that the pages are in black and white instead of in color. But who cares? Be realistic, you need this for a class, and then once the semester is over you'll never look at it again. The pages are properly numbered and coincide with the hardcover, so if your instructor tells you to turn to page #100, it'll be there like the hardcover book.
So I decide to purchase the kindle version of this textbook so save carrying weight, and a few dollars. I was very disapointed as I bagan reading the text, because in many cases there will be a lead up to an example then suddenly in am faced with a nice bomb of a message "Content not Available due to Copyright Restrictions".I gave this two stars, bacause other than the missing content, this is a great book.What? I was not warned when I purchased this online that I was looking at an incomplete textbook. I have found this message several times per chapter, and yes I have had instances where I missed points in class, or couldn't fully participate in the conversation about the reading because the exaplme being discussed is not in my E-Book.I feel it's not appropriate at all to sell the book in anything but the same form as the print book without a warning. If there are copywright restrictions preventing you from producing a full digital version, then don't do it. Don't sell it to me, and pepper the book with little messages "oops, sorry, the people that bought the paper version get the whole book, but since this is digital you don't get the same thing" It happens so much in this book, I bet if the publisher had tried they could have gotten permission to use most of the content in the E-book, but they just didn't bother. It was just easier to strip all the borrowed content from it, us readers won't know till we've already paid for it anyway.Bottom line, if you need this for a college class, save yourself the hastle and get the paper version, you can sell it to someone later anyway, unlike an E-Book.
This was the book I need for one of my classes and it's the exact same thing as a regular version but much cheaper.It's an easy read and the activities and self quizes in it are very helpful.
I used this book for an Interpersonal Communications class online and I got an A. It has pretty much everthing as the new black and purple book and I saved alot of money. It only cost me like $7.00 and I saved my friend money by passing it down to her and she got an A on her class as well. :)I also like that even though its an older version, it has lists of TV shows and movies you can watch to further understand the chapter. The online websited has practice quizzes and was very helpful as well.
Wonderful book! I purchased this book for an interpersonal theory and practice course at Brigham Young University Idaho. It arrived two days after I placed the order and was in the condition promised. This book provides so much insight into why we do the things that we do in the social interactions we find ourselves in. Every chapter contains vital information about how the mind works and the inner workings behind our automatic positive and negative reactions. This book opens a window into the inner workings of the heart and mind, leaving a clearly placed path to better work, personal, and family relationships and more effective communications. The tips that I have learned in this book have made me more aware of my interactions with coworkers and improved the atmosphere at my work and in my home. Great buy, I would highly recommend!
In case you're unclear on what this is ('s product page is a bit unclear), it's a freshman-level textbook in interpersonal communications, light psychology. I read through it from start to finish and did not find it more insightful than others. A lot of fun cartoons, though.
This book is identical to the hardback, but the photos are in black and white. I received my copy quickly and it is in perfect shape! It is exactly what I ordered and will certainly order my texts from again (beware the used books, however!).
