## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for college
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 27, 2025*

Bought for a college course was exactly what I needed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, a textbook without bias!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States November 25, 2017*

I'm being forced to read this for some college course I don't want to take and will have no future value for me but I have to say, this is a very well written textbook. Usually, textbooks involving social, legal, and ethical issues are obscenely biased and therefore impossible to read. However, as I read through A Gift of Fire, I was actually blown away by how fairly written it was. If the author has personal biases, they were kept out of this book.In a day and age where college consists mostly of having unwanted views shoved down your throat, A Gift of Fire was a breath of fresh air. Props to Sara Baase for fairly presenting multiple sides of every issue. This is the perfect example of how educational textbooks should be written.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great!

Did not actually come with fire, author needs to recheck them sources
