Reviews

[Jacob Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was required by my sociological class in order to complete my degree. While I hate reading textbooks, I definitely needed to do this A. for the class and B. for the research study that I had to complete.

Without this book, I definitely would never have been able to complete my project and understand the grasp of what I was trying to do in my research study and thesis.
