Was a requirement for class, so had to by. Was useful somewhat. Teacher went over all the key points from the book in class anyway. So I could have saved money and not rent the book. But he gave an 15 extra points to our final class grade to everyone who did have the book because to him it made it seem like we actually was doing the reading. (which we wasn't). That 15 point helped me get an A+ in the class. So, I am very happy with my rental.
Easy to understand. Great content and flow. Jam packed with information. Never thought I would like research but this text makes it easy to appreciate it.
Arrived as promised.
