Book was required for the research class I was taking. It is very cut and dry. Drink lots of coffee to stay awake while reading this book. Amazon had the best price over the other competition.

This is the book that was selected for our research “introduction” class. If the authors wrote this book with the intentions of it being useful as an introduction on the topic, then they missed the mark. You will know the same amount of information before you read the book as after you read the book. The authors forgot who their audience was. SAD because the book is really expensive.
