Review:

I wanted a text that was well-written, current, and concise and one that would lend itself to supplementing and updating with current materials, both print and electronic. The brief Harrison/St. John fits perfectly.

The length allowed for in depth discussion, and provided the instructor with a higher level of certainty that students were in fact, reading the material.
