This text is regrettably one of the worst books I have ever needed for any class! The information is clearly biased racially mostly against certain ethnic groups. To further this bias, the text offers statistical information which is not skewed correctly, or would lead one to get an incorrect full picture. In other words VERY SLANTED information. A clear example is on page 180 of the 10th edition. Total up those percentages with current census data to get a much clearer (and quite different)picture......this is one clear example! It continues throughout the entire text!
