Review �I like this book--it has a lot of content in a smaller package than some books. The content is pretty straightforward, which I like, and I am comfortable requiring students to read the chapters knowing that most everything in the chapter is pertinent information.� �I think this is a very well developed book that is very understandable to my students. Everything is relevant for the course and the objectives required.� About the Author Dianne S.
