Kindle version is lackingBy RussI just bought the Kindle edition of this book and it is really poorly put together. The whole format looks like a draft of a book; not a published book. Most importantly I see NO PAGE NUMBERS! There is a table of contents - but this does not include page numbers either. Having no page numbers makes it very hard to use this book in class and to find homework assignments. I'm hoping there is a way to return kindle books!4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Good book; covers many aspects of cultureBy ChaniI used the book in my Latin American Cult. and Civ. class. Overall; I liked it. It covers a good range of topics; besides the classics (such as politics; history; economy; etc). The questions at the end of every chapter are clear and a good help for students. I have used the first 300 pages or so as "class material"; the rest were part of individual presentations.One negative aspect; I don't consider necesary to have a new edition every year. it is very expensive for students. Probably; it would be nice to have a new edition every 5 years; the changes on politics; economy; etc; could be covered by emails (as it is now; too). E-mails updating material makes more sense to me that new editions every year. I plan to stick with the cuarta edicion for more years.
