Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not impressed
Seeing as I purchased this for a textbook for a college class I expected it to be factual. And I was reading the textbook as though it was based purely on science. Up until I got to the chapter that included "spirituality", discussed god as a necessity to wellness and promoted abstinance only sex education. Um, let's take religion out of textbooks, please. Because when I got to that part, I hence concluded that the entire textbook was not at all scientific. Too bad.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Thank you!
My book arrived very quickly and it was in perfect condition. Thank you for all your help!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Average
This book was "average" for a textbook.
The graphs and charts are excellent, however the author is not very engaging while presenting the material.
