By A Customer

An excellent textbook that is both comprehensive and enjoyable. Numerous up-to-date examples make the material come alive, and the use of varied theoretical approaches transcends more traditional textbooks.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Student Perspective, April 24, 2003

By A Customer

As a student, I have found this book to be a very difficult read. The chapters were filled with impossible to understand details. Perhaps for a practitioner the book is useful, but as an introductory textbook in a university course, it proved to be a very thick volume with litte useful information.
