2 STARS for the kindle version - 5 STARS for the content, but at the high cost of this textbook, I would expect that it would at least provide page numbers. The e-book is full of glitches which wouldn't allow me at times to move forwards or backwards through the text. Also, not allowing users to copy/paste small sections of the text for papers is ridiculous.
