4.0 out of 5 stars
good text book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Generalist Practice with Organizations and Communities (with InfoTrac) (Hardcover)
Excellent text-book. Useful information, well organized, good examples. An easier and more interesting read than some. Includes a (small) section on Procrastination which identifies with me a little too well (in fact, guess what I'm doing right now?). :)The reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is just because it is a text book and I was forced to read it. However, I think I'd much rather read this one than something else.

This review is from: Generalist Practice with Organizations and Communities (Paperback)
Book came faster than I thought it would. The seller should update their tracking system though. I like knowing when the book has reached a certain location after shipping.
