Dear Tipsters,
I also wonder why MS regards Myers as one of the worst, particularly because he takes pains to be less American-oriented than other texts, i.e., there are many cross-cultural references and ideas in his book. Michael, please tell us why you dislike Myers's text? Stuart ___________________________________________________________________ Stuart J.
