This textbook was for a class that I didn't particularly care for. However, the book itself was in brand new condition and I really like the smaller size. It came quickly as well and the price wasn't overwhelming. It was easy to slip into my bag to take along with me for the day. If you like exploring family theories, this is a comprehensive guide to that topic. It was simply a requirement for my degree major and not necessarily my favorite topic to learn about.
This author of this book really keeps things from becoming boring. Considering I am reading it as a part of my graduate coursework, I am quite pleased with it to the point where I would actually consider it a rather leisurely read, if you're into the subject.
This book arrived on time and as described. Encourage you to buy from this seller.The content of the book makes it a GREAT reference for anyone seeking a panorama of family theory.Would likely work well for an upper level undergraduate course, or a lower level graduate course in any department which touches family studies.
This book is really great! My professor assigned this book for our Family Theories class and it just made all the theories easier to understand. I love the articles it has after the reading.
I needed this book for my Family Studies class. I loved learning about the theories and how they all enter twine. Perfect book for anyone wanting to learn how families and people operate.
I rented this for a class. It's written like a dictionary (published by Oxford) so it's a little hard to read but it does have useful information in it.
The book is paper back, but it still was good not to have to purchase a book I don't know if I will keep. I haven't had any problems renting this book!
The book came in good condition. If you are looking for a purely Informative textbook that doesn't seek to entertain then this is what you need.
