Review:

 “The authors have done an excellent job of presenting current, up-to-date, comprehensive and empirically supported information.”
- Dr. Patricia J. Edelen-Smith, University of Hawaii at Manoa

 

“I find the focus questions to be especially strong components of each chapter; they really summarize exactly what it is that the students should take with them from their readings. This feature far exceeds anything that I currently use.”

- Claire Verden, West Chester University

 

“I love the way this books leads students to be interactive.”

- Linda Metske, Lyndon State College

 

“The text is appropriate for people new to the field as well as more seasoned instructors. The text is readable, easy to locate information and is worth my suggesting a change in text for the university for the coming year.”

- DiAnne B. Garner, Virginia Commonwealth University

 

“The information presented is very thorough and can be easily implemented in real-life situations.”

- Kimberly Fields, Albany State University
