This textbook is dense. So much information is packed into each page. Some times the layout/organization of information seems to jump around a bit in an illogical way. It's just a textbook, ultimately.
This textbook is excellent, covering a multitude of topics from music around the world. It is a very good book for college courses in "World Music." It covers ethnic differences in various peoples around the world and their music, which differs from one part of the world to another. The book is chock full of information, making it a good read even without taking the course.

The book is useless. Don't buy it. Just use the online version--which you will have to use it anyhow to listen to the tracks. You get very little for an expensive book. Sucks!
