Review
"The case study material included in the chapters I reviewed is very good and will be a tremendous help to bridging the gap from knowledge to application."
"I think this version is much more reader-friendly, and like the way some items were summarized in table or bullet format rather than going into lengthy descriptions. … When I used previous editions students complained about how lengthy and technical it was; but, I don't think such criticism would occur with this version."
