I rarely write reviews for textbooks, but this gem is a great exception.The content is not bad, and I assume it is par for the course, but as I recently switched fields I can't make concrete recommendations on alternative sources.The diction used by this author is truly horrible, that is to say painful to read or comprehend. Walker has another captivating novel that readers will fully appreciate.Harriet Klausner.
