The CD's are obviously an important part of the listening experience. I specifically bought this book because the seller's description said it came with 3 CD's. Thanks to Youtube, I will be just fine in my class. Buyers be aware that you might not get your CD's.
One of my biggest pet peeves is the price of college text books. I am stunned that this little book costs $100, I personally think it is totally unethical to charge this much for a book. Another huge complaint I have it that I spend $100 for a music book and the three companion CDs are not included, I would have to fork out another $40 just to have the music to go along with the book. Shame on these publishing companies that overcharge for books and leave out critical material.
I enjoy this book, but just keep in mind that this does not come with the cd's. I decided not to order any cd's and just wait to see what my professor said to do. He ended up giving us a website link that had all of the songs on it, so that was way awesome. I don't think I'm allowed to post the link, but there are ways to find the songs on the internet for free.
I ordered this book brand new under the mistaken assumption that would guarantee me the CDs. I was wrong. Apparently a book that requires you to listen to tracks on an accompanying CD is sold sans CD so that instead of paying the already ridiculous price of $100 for a 432 page (including appendices) text book for what is for most, an elective class, I am forced to then turn around and order the $40 3 CD set, bringing the total to a truly ludicrous $140 for a class I will never think of again. Amazing. Thank you corrupt text book companies for screwing over yet another college student.I'm going to try and find the songs on Youtube like another reviewer did. Being an unemployed student with a family trying to make a new start, I can't afford to throw money around like this.
horrible rental, had tons of previous writing throughout. the book overall is filled with a lot of confusing terms and misspelled words. maybe the book would be better off with a different teacher in another case...
Basically, in a general sense the book does not really describe much in the first chapter, instead what it does is that it puts out a random word to you and asks you questions to help you understand the definition. It however, is not straight to the point and instead goes off into tangents using examples that would be later described in the book. There is a lot of figuring out to do and the best way to get through the book is to develop your own method of understanding the topics described.
I also received no CD's with mine. Now I am trying to find the CD's seperately online. Does anyone know where to get them?!
This book is one of the most annoying textbooks ever. On page one of the first chapter it states that all of the words in bold will appear in the Glossary. The very first word that appears in bold and many, many others are not in the glossary. So much for being able to reference a definition to any word quickly. Promises broken at page 1. I can't wait to see what the rest of the text will be like. :(
