This could be a very good book if the authors did some serious clean up on it and updated there sources/references and information.

There are some very serious problems with things as fundamental as the page numbers in the table of contents matching the page numbers in the actually book (similar problems appear frequently in the index).

Much of the research in the book is dated, most of the journal articles cited are 20-50 years old, with some of the most recent having been published in the mid 90s. This is especially frustrating when the authors mention the need for more research on a particular topic citing deficiencies in research from the mid-60s.

There are several organizational and problems in the chapters and many obvious typos.

I developed a kind of cognitive dissonance trying to reconcile the amount of money I spent on the text (~80 dollars) and it's requirement for a course in a department where the authors are or were faculty. ( )
