Title: Unbearably bad book
Review: To give you an idea about how little merit should be placed in this author's work, consider this: of the four example problems used in the book, three of them are solved incorrectly! Once again an education professor proves how useless a degree in education really is. As a math teacher and math major, I advocate for the content experts over the so-called education experts. The whole book can be summed up by the following observation: "Word problems in most math textbooks seem contrived." So? They're useful tools to gradually warm up to real-world math applications which may be more useful but are certainly less beautiful. I was hoping for an honest critique of math education, what I got was a petulant diatribe on the nature of word problems. Disappointing to the Nth degree!
