DESCRIPTION:
Just what I needed for my class. I haven't told Amazon lately that I love thembut, do I EVER! This book was over $100 at the Campus Bookstore. I've got a full load of classes, and the books add up fast, it's annoying. As for the contentit is what it is. There's a lot more statistics and tedious information in it than I was expecting (the type is really small!), but I didn't have a say in the matter either way solike I said, it is what it is!. K.Campbell said Amazing Book!. I purchased this book for an online Urban Geography class and I could not be happier! This book is amazing because I found it very easy to read, it was not complicated, and the definitions on vocabulary were impeccable! I highly recommend this book to anyone taking Urban Geography!. "The book is fine. However when I open the book I found" according to Kang Xu. The book is fine. However when I open the book I found some pages are off which should be pointed out in the description.
