let me tell you about this book. this book is written like a college freshman needed to reach a word minimum. i'm so mad i invested in it for class. i read one chapter and didn't even understand what the point is. the BS flowery language and over complication of simple concepts drive me insane. This is the kind of book that'll say things like: "water is wet because water is created of hydrogen and oxygen and when they're together they form a liquid compound which is wet, as liquid is wet, like water. many people relate liquids to water, because liquids are wet." so on and so on, except in more flowery language and you're like, "OKAY SO THE POINT IS THAT WATER IS WET? GOT IT? THE F I NEEDED TO READ THREE PAGES OF SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SUMMED UP IN ONE STATEMENT?!"efffff. thaatttt. noiiiseeee.
Content was good, but it was very repetitive, and a lot of information was redundant :) Statements and entire paragraphs were simply reworded using ornate language and sentence structure, making it difficult to read and understand. A lot of wasted time reading the same thing over and over. Felt that the book could have easily been half the size and still contained the same amount of information. Hard to stay focused. Should be simplified.
Online content is a total scam. Gives you limited accessibility (1 year) to the content YOU ALREADY PAID FOR and then tries to charge to "renew" it. Other publishers don't do this. Further, the online took is garbage: repeated crashes and failed searches. Professors: please assign your students a book from a different publisher.
Lame and wordy as hell.
Book came in great condition and price was half of what it cost new.
Fast delivery! Product in great shape!
