Title: Save your money-rent it
Review: I had to purchase this book for my MSW program. Unfortunately, since the book was just released this year, there were no "used" copies available. This book is AWFUL!! By far the worst textbook I have ever had the misfortune of owning. It's so bad I can't even force myself to read it. Schriver (repeatedly) talks about the origins of words [who cares] and lists 3-4 definitions for each one. "Smith says it's this.... whereas Jones defines it as..." and so on. Pick one already! Rent it if you can. Not worth owning.
Is the review positive or negative?
