Received book on time and was well packaged. But the book itself was not the best condition. Cover corners were destroyed, food spills, and dirty fingerprints of food all over the book. Was very disappointed.

Needed this for a university class and this book is actually really great! The author explains things that may be unfamiliar and it is well written. The chapters are about 5 pages each with some questions for critical thinking and extra reading material which is a huge bonus.
