Necessary, but useless July 5, 2006
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was really looking forward to the class this book was necessary for. And while I learned a lot of interesting material, almost none of it was from the text. Nothing that i'm going to carry away from this class was learned from the book. While it gave the trival bits of information that were located in the test material, most of those you could gather from simple common sense. If you want to get anything out of a class using this as a text, hope your prof. likes to lecture. Otherwise... you're really going to hate it.
Completely worthless January 3, 2005

How do I even start on this book? A text for a class in college I bought this book looking forward to it, despite the drear subject. As the class progressed I found this book to contain contradicting information in many areas. In addition to this, the graphs are completely unintelligible, even our prof. gave up trying to make sense of them. The book also doesn't discuss the psychology of dying, but rather the practical aspects and biology of dying. As this class was a soc/psy class, this wasn't very helpful. If you're a prof. considering this text- please think again!
