Review # 1 was written on 2011-11-07 00:00:00 Emmanuel Rios I read this to research one of my articles after having bought it a couple of years ago for Jose. I was amazed at how much I dont know about Atlanta, historically mainly because I know that I don´t know anything about the architecture. This guide is very detailed and covers almost every single building in the Atlanta metropolitan area. It´s meant to be a guide to each neighborhood and has great walking or driving tours. As for a general overview of Atlanta´s architecture and styles, it´s not the best.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-11 00:00:00 Patrick Kilgore Adequate course textbook. It broke concepts down and provided plenty of exercises. That said, it was terribly edited, with important terms outright missing from sentences, entire paragraphs copied and pasted from previous sections, and incorrect solutions to questions published (confirmed with my instructor). It could probably have been half as long. If I were to also review the online component of this textbook/publisher system, it would be 0/5 stars. It is disgusting that in order to even participate in university classes now you need to purchase a new edition from the publisher, as these books contain codes that give you access to their online assignments and tests, which this university course requires you to complete. Worse, an extra charge is added for access to the system as well as the textbook, which puts a greater financial burden on students, especially low-income ones. As these codes expire after a year, this also has the wasteful effect of making the used textbook market for both used and current editions worthless.
