I am writing this because I could not find the information clearly stated elsewhere and I hope that this can help someone else with the same question. The Ebook version works only in the kindle app on devices such as laptops, phones, and tablets, it cannot be delivered to a kindle. This isn't a problem for me since I carry my laptop daily anyway but being able to access it from my kindle would be very helpful.
This is a great book for Physical Anthropology. It provides the historical context along with interesting passages that are set up in a story like format, which in my opinion, definitely helped me remember topics on exams much easier. There is an extensive list of vocabulary both helpful and easy to follow along for the class. I enjoyed the fact that the chapters were not necessarily over complicated or written in a dull and run on matter. The text get straight to the point and you'll be able to pick out those important facts needed on exams without getting caught up with any complicated and unnecessary context. i definitely recommend this book if you're taking this class. if you are required to have this book for this class i would suggest you buy or rent it. The class on average is not the most difficult and thus, neither is the material; however, the words and vocabulary are unlike some you can just use common sense on. the book will definitely help in that aspect and with the names of the different primates and hominids. Good luck!
This was for a college course needed for graduation. Text was comprehensive and pictures and illustrations aided in the story of the evolution of hominins. This was a shrink wrapped stack of pages that I put into a three ring binder. The pages opened flat without a binding so I believe it was easier to use when referencing as I answered online questions and assessments.
I rented the 2011-2012 version for a class, and enjoyed the subject so much I decided I should own the book. This new version is updated with current additional info, as well as being cleaned up a little in terms of concise organization. A really good intro book and overview of the subject. Great photos, maps, and diagrams.
The book, itself, is in excellent condition but the code to access the videos, flashcards, etc. was missing. Disappointing because this has not happened to me before buying through .com.
book came in great condition since i bought it new but it didn't come with an access code. wish i would've paid attention to one of the previous reviews. Now i cant do the extra credit work i wanted to do. this is the only reason im giving it a one star
Great book that was less than what was offered at the college. It was written well, and was very understandable. I will keep it in my collection to refer to it for years to come.
This book is helpful and useful for understanding the topic of my research.It mentions a lot of information on primates that I plan to use on my research project for a class.
