A very inclusive & informative book which provides the data in an interesting manner. It also provides a conclusion at the end of each chapter which helps the reader to build a full idea about the whole subject.

It's an excellent book but I had an issue using the code for an assignment. The tech support stated that the code in the book could not be used with the navigate scenario app on line.

book is in great condition didn't really need it for my class as much as I thought but happy it was just a rental and great price its on its way back to you

The book was supposed to come with a sheet to log into learnscape for class but it didn't which was bad, very disappointed.

Shallow and not extensive as extensive. Bought it as the school requires it but otherwise its not worth the buying.

Purchased for school. Good book, easy to read and understand the topic.

very concise, to the point, and in logical sequence

good book to read for class
