Review:

"I thought the text was well-written. It was straightforward and easy to understand. I think that is important given the diversity of the students we see...not too technical, but informative. It could enhance my students learning very well."~ Shannon Brown, Cabinetmaking/Construction Teacher, Minico High School , Rupert Idaho
