"This edition adds the latest hot-button issues in the multicultural world .... Everything you ever wanted to know about multicultural counseling is included in this edition.

The table of content in the kindle version is very limited to the main chapters, and moreover, pages are not indexed. So there is no way, and I mean really no way, to go to a specific page or chapter. This results in very poor navigation for a school textbook, especially when paying $60+.
I am updating my previews review after reading further into the book. In the end, the kindle issue is the least of my concerns with this book. It is extremely opinionated and the authors makes hundreds of statements about HIS interpretation of what someone else is saying and blaming that someone for HIS interpretation. I am swiss and in Switzerland many of my best friends were foreigners and of different races, and I feel oppressed by this author. He is treating me like he knows what is going in my head, because I am white. There so many occasions, especially in the microagression section, where the author brings up a fictious statement by someone and concludes that the person really inferred something different. Well that may be in some cases, and so context, tone of voice, is important. But these nuances are left aside in the book. It's a pity because I see it in many americans, there are so many rules as what you should or should not say. Well I am sorry, I believe that the most qualified person for the job should get the job, and when I hire, that's exactly what I do. But based on this book, I am committing a microagression and am a racist. It just so turns out that I hired as many minorities (LGBT, asian, european,..) in the last year as white americans. So the author is actually making a microagression against me, interpreting my statements and tells me what my intent is. Who is he to know so much about me?
