This book is mostly useful because it is easy to read and understand. However, the editors have missed SEVERAL spelling errors, wich I find unexcusable in a college textbook that costs so much money. What do we pay them so much for?
Also, in one chapter the psychology term "tabula rasa" (which is Latin for "blank slate") is discussed. And throughout the chapter the author calls it "tabula ROSA." That does not mean blank slate. That means pink slate. To describe someone's cognitive state at birth as being a PINK slate makes absolutely no sense.
It looks to me like they used a computer spell checker instead of a human to edit the book, and the computer didn't know what "rasa" was and suggested replacing it. Some foolish editor told it to accept the suggestion without thinking (or maybe without knowing) that rasa really was correct. This even led my professor to refer to the concept as tabula rosa in his class lectures. See how quickly incompetence in the editing room can spread to masses of students, and then onward to everyone they eventually teach or work with?
