Dr Herdt was appointed Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the Stanford University (1979-1985).

Item Description Lied- Amazon needs to fix this
By anonymoose
So, this is the main buying page for this book. Amazon needs to differentiate. There are TWO hardcover versions of this book- one with the online access code and one without. Check description- 'Comes with Learnsmart!' Yeah... not really. I ordered my book, ripped into it and... where's my codes? Wait... there's no codes! I didn't order the book until the professor added me to the class as I don't have money to be throwing around. Class just started and... guess who doesn't have the book and required access codes? That'd be me due to a buying error. I tried to skate around the 180 dollar 'discount' price at the campus bookstore. By the way- I'm not the only person in my class who bought from Amazon, opened it up and nope... no codes.
If the minor little technical error where you flat-out lie in the product description gets fixed I'll take down the nasty review.
Bottom Line: If your professor wants to you to use the online system or you yourself think it'd be nice to have... don't buy from here, you're going to have to order from the publisher or eat the cost of campus bookstore.
