ReviewsThe text was easy for my students to read, easy to understand, and well laid out in terms of flow., I think the writing is superior. My students often comment that they read EVERY page. Its not unusual to hear from students that this is textbook they want to keep & use on the job. The self-assessments are excellent. And the powerpoints are efficient & focus on the key points of each chapter., I think the writing is superior. My students often comment that they read EVERY page.
