-- "My overall impression of this chapter, and the text as a whole, is that it presents the necessary and important information in an engaging and accessible form. I find this text to be a quick and easy read...I fully intend to present this text to my colleagues when it is finished as an upgrade to the Marieb text." -- "I wholeheartedly support the integrated approach presented in this text. As an instructor, it is vital to get my students to make connections between various course objectives that may be presented widely apart in the text or during the semester. Additionally, integration encourages higher order thinking skills rather than simple memorization." -- "One of my top three criteria for choosing a text is the writing style. I need it to be conversational, and this most certainly is. In fact, beyond the fact that it is conversational, I absolutely love the way that the author uses analogies and brings every concept down to the most basic level."
