I also like that it has incredibly recent examples and topics - it's more cutting edge than other books."- R.Condos, Instructor with American River College "I slowly took the book and opened it to skim through it. Well, I ended up reading most of every chapter! I can't believe that a textbook held my interest and curiosity like this one did! The material is so pertinent and up to date! I loved the subjects...I love this book and can't wait to use it!" - Linda Merrill, student at River Valley CC
