Editorial Reviews
Review
"One of the essentials features that I use to determine how student-friendly a textbook might be is based on whether the chapter material is just merely presented; or are there breaks in the material. I really believe the Kornblum textbook does a superior job in directing students to actually use and think about the concepts presented. I often use these boxed features as focus points for classroom discussions and/or homework assignments."
Jerry Michel
Univ. of Memphis
"The writing style is a plus. Kornblum strikes the right balance between scholarly academic-speak and conversational writing. The pedagogical voice is one of a trusted professor explaining key concepts to students in a way that they can understand. He challenges the student to consider these ideas. The writing is not overly done, nor too simple. It certainly does not insult their intelligence."
