Cornerstone: Discovering Your Potential, Learning Actively and Living Well, Concise Edition (5th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)...Do NOT purchase this book if you need the full edition for your college course. The concise edition looks exactly like the full edition, except for that tiny note on the upper right corner of the cover. If your instructor uses the full edition, especially for an online course, you won't get by with this one!
Otherwise, a great book and of use to any college student (or high school student who plans to go on to college)!
