[Jenna · Rating 4 out of 5]

No offense but the male authors of this book were slightly biased.

[Grey · Rating 1 out of 5]

It’s not very nice when you can tell the gender and sexuality of the authors by their biases flavoring a supposedly academic text, especially by 2023 where I own other textbooks that distinctly refute many of the biased assertions within the volume.

Excellent, informative, and entertaining.
