I just want to look for the page I need and read it from there. Why is that not an option? Why break it into non descript "locations" of anywhere from 10-20 sections per page, making individual page lookups impossible.
If you are using this book as a textbook for class, consider purchasing the hard copy. It is not optimized for Kindle, at all. All of the charts, captions and boxes are out of order and some even overlap in the middle of paragraphs that you are reading, taking up 3 or 4 pages, before the chapter starts once again. Also, this e-book only contains locations and not page numbers.
Very frustrating to read, it ‘s all over the place. The kindle edition is a nightmare. There are no definitions or helpful explanations that one would normally find in a textbook. I hate this book.
Used for an International Politics class and truly thought it was eye opening, comprehensive, and a great read. So great that I'm keeping and not reselling it!
as expected and delivered on time
