Review "[You have] lots of self assessment activities. The figures and diagrams help to summarize the material. The Key terms at both the beginning and end of the chapter help. [You offer] a great total package of materials."
"This text gives learners a clear roadmap through the concepts, with many opportunities to apply the concepts and focus on the associated skills; in addition, the self-assessments allow students to see where they currently stand and form a plan to develop greater skill strengths."
