## Description

Review: Used for class, nice read - Like many students, I don't like reading textbooks. However, this textbook was actually enjoyable to read. The way the theories are written is easy to understand and I like the personal examples the author gives. I usually hate reading theories since the way some are written can be very confusing, but again, these are easy to comprehend. Not to mention, the chapters are not very long compared to some other textbooks. This made reading the chapters for class nice, too. Short, sweet, and to the point.
Review: Excellent Educational Tool - I purchased this book as a requirement for graduate school. At first I dreaded reading it, like most do in school. I ended up using this book through my entire two years in school, and found it to be the most educational tool. The book was in amazing condition! I couldn't recommend this book enough. I will give everyone a warning: with every new addition, some of the theories are removed or added. The books website is amazing and has additional information.
