I ordered textbooks for a friend for his class at UMKC. I had the book within a week.

I bought this book for a class I was taking. It said when I purchased the item that it would take 5-8 days to get here but it took almost a month. My class started and I had no book – very frustrating.

This book was the required text for my class at ODU. The cost for the new book was less than the University Bookstore’s price for a used copy of the 5th edition (bookstore ordered the wrong edition text).

This is one frustrating textbook to be assigned. The organization and design are really poor. For example: Design – the text will be cut off mid-sentence by a diagram that you don’t need to look at until the next page, when you have to flip back and forth to refer to it. Organization – information is scattered about so you feel like you’re reading the same [boring] thing 20 times, so you start skimming, but then you miss the one kernel of information that’s added each time (the book would be shorter, lighter, AND easier to read if it were organized better). Also, the author includes full citations for everything, like a term paper (a loooong one), so you can lose track of the sentence you’re reading by trying to hunt through all the names and dates to find the information. Footnotes, anyone?!
Sheesh. This is going to be a long semester…

Easy read yet thorough. Good resource for special educators and general educators as well.
