I am using this book for one of my Master's courses. Some of the reading is dry but it is a good reference book all in all.
 Adequate purchase September 5, 2008

Product was received quickly. There was more writing and highlighting in the used text than I expected, but overall the book was in good condition.

A textbook for school, no matter what I say here... you probably still have to purchase it. No pictures in the whole book (all the pages are slap full of words), so get ready for a long semester!
