Editorial Reviews
Review
"I think the strength of this text is that it is very well-written in a voice that is non-intimidating, which is very good when trying to teach, especially students without much background in science or math (like ours)."
"This text is rather unique. The authors have written in a manner that is very accessible. The typical student of today is significantly different from those of 15 or 20 years ago, and this text is a significant step toward addressing the needs of those students."
"I like the illustrations and diagrams in Fraknoi. I find that other texts work very hard on establishing a graphic style but seem to do so at the expense of content. Others seem to want to cram too much into a page. I find that Fraknoi’s balance of text, graphics and layout is at a very appropriate level."
"...Voyages compares very well with other texts. I’ve used Bennett (which I like but which seems to intimidate my students) and others, none of which come close. The strongest points about Fraknoi, in my opinion, are the straightforward (casual?) writing style and the appropriate content level."
"I have used the text for the last three years. I am very happy with the text and supporting material...it is easy to read and the authors do a good job of explaining difficult concepts in understandable language."
"Your text is clearly written and very understandable. My students really liked it...One of the things that really makes your testbank great is the humor that you place in a lot of your answers. These really get to some of my students..."
