Decent book; however, resources are lacking and tech support for the publisher is a waste of time. I bought this book brand new and I am not able to access any of the online resources that this book provides. The scratch off code was worthless. It's not a heavy book, but when I go to campus I prefer to access the content online. They need to fix this ASAP or at least lower the cost of the book since the online resources are not available.
Wish there were page numbers. Makes it a bit confusing.
