Review
"Henslin hooks students on learning about the world around them, and suggests they seek answers to the question ‘Why should I care?””
Roger Nemeth, Hope College
“My students tell me that they love the varied scenarios Henslin provides in the book.”
Kristie Palmer, Richland Community College
“The boxed features in Henslin often explore controversial issues that generate great on-line discussions among my distance learning students.”
Kristie Palmer, Richland Community College
“Henslin begins each chapter with an interesting vignette. The text is accessible and easy to read.”
Lucy Ogburn, Middlesex Community College
“Henslin offers an introduction to research and his heavy inclusion of research shows its importance. He does this at just the right level.”
Jan Poppendieck, City University of New York, Hunter College
“I appreciate Henslin’s balanced theoretical approach, good topic coverage, and that the book is very readable.”
Derral Cheatwood, University of Texas, San Antonio
“The boxed examples in Henslin add a new dimension to the course. He truly has a down-to-earth approach.”
Sue Dowden, El Camino College
“Students like this book because the reading level is just right, the examples are relevant, and the strong visuals keep them interested. My students also like [Henslin’s] accounts of his many travels; they give the book a global feel.”
