This is a great text book because it explains almost every side of law in business. The content is very cut and dry and tells it to you right away. There are also great examples and sample cases in each chapter that help explain each concept.

Wonderful, absorbing, informative book. Easily readable, yet packed with good gritty technical information. I am treating it as the best textbook ever. The type of rare text/technical book that you just cant put down. I plan to re read it and next time, take notes, write in the margins and put stickers on the pages. I will deface it as its mine for life!

Too bad this book wasn't around back when I was in college.  It is a compelling, easy-to-read, all-in-one college level course in history, theology, economics, science, philosophy, sociology, political science, animal rights, and, frankly, English composition.  This is one of the few new books of late I want to have permanently in my home library.  This is really a must read.  It really is.

This is an excellent textbook. It was out of print, so I had to try several resellers on Amazon before I found one that actually had it in stock. I would recommend it, but don't read it if you're overly sensitive. Some of the material is upsetting, but accurate. The historical timeline is well thought out and informative.

This is by far one of the best college text books I have ever received. Not only have I fully read the whole book but I actually was interested in what was being said in the context. The animated graphics definitely makes this book interesting and helps tie the information together in each section. I would suggest this book to anyone taking philosophy because it really makes you think out side of the box in a clever way.

Pretty good text book. I had to buy it for my Human Development and I learned a lot from this text, it discusses human development with a realistic world view. 10/10 would buy again if another class needed it (but I already have it so...). Also got to my campus pretty quick.

I used this book for my Women's Health Care class and loved it!!! The best text book I have found.  Super easy to read, breaks things down wonderfully.  This is also a book I would keep and use. Many of the authors are professors for many of the Midwifery Universities.  Excellent text book.

This book is required reading for me this semester. This is ONE OF THE BEST textbooks I have ever been assigned to read! All the vocabulary terms are either in bold or italicized text; concise explanations are given of key concepts; etc.

This is one text that is NOT a chore to read. :-) And it's interesting too!!

This is one of the few text books I enjoyed from a long list of related computer science books I have read for college. I would not recommend this as an intro to computers for the casual reader. The text goes into great detail about the many aspects of an operating system by providing abstract concepts and exact algorithms. The book helps explain what goes on behind the scenes of the hardware and the system and helped me understand some of the concepts of OSes that seem mysterious.

If you have a passion for computers or need a good supplemental text for a class, then I would highly recommend this. If you are a novice computer user looking to learn more about computer in general, then I would start with something else.

I purchased this book in a bookstore where someone had it special ordered, saw the content, and decided they did not want it.  I read the title, viewed the content, and decided it was a book I had to add to my library.  I am currently pre-med, looking to become a forensic pathologist.  This text gave me good insight as to approaches taken when doing crime scene investigation.  I thoroughly enjoyed the picutres with full explanation of events leading up to the death.  A good text for anyone involved in forensic sciences or law enforcement.

A great deal of required reading. Text while being required, has a great level of depth on the subject matter. Since this is a text book for class, this is the only one that I have read on this topc.

I was required to get this book for a class. It's probably the most interesting text book I've read in a long time. It's well written, easy to understand, and there are tons of pictures, a must for a book on art.

I love this book because it explains everything so well and has a lot of the things I was looking for in it!!

very imformative. I learned a great deal on the subject. Although it reads like a text book, I'm glad I made this purchase. Besides, it was a great deal.

I love this book.  I teach college economics and used the previous version of this book in my classes.  Students really loved it (and said so on their anonymous end-of-semester course evaluations).  It has great real-world examples, and it explains economics concepts in ways anyone can understand.  The new version is terrific, with lots of updated examples on recent events, while keeping the same highly readable style.  I love the range of topics this book covers, including the economics of special interests, things government does right, things it does wrong, the economics of environmental issues and property rights, plus all the new material on the recent economic crisis.

This book is great for college students who want a more intuitive and readable explanation of the concepts in their textbook, but it is also really great for anyone who wants to better understand how the economy works.

Highly recommended!

I bought Gendered Lives for a course that I am taking, so I consider it a text book. Despite that, this book has enabled me to fully understand gender in an unbiased way. Wood writes from an objective perspective, which allows for the reader to fully understand all aspects of the word gender. The language of the text is accessible for all students of all ages and academic background.
