i just bought this book at my campus the other day. I can't put it down. This book is very interesting and laid out nicely, definitions are made clear. i feel as if i am there when i look at the pictures in this book and when i am reading about a particular incident.another thing i like about this book is it combines traditional learning with the author wanting the reader to use the internet.

Book falls apart. Have had to "GLUE" the pages back weekly. I will buy my college books from the book store from now on. Not worth the money I saved!
