Review:

"The explanations and clarity of explanations/format of models for key concepts are my favorite parts of this book. My students tell me that they are very clear and like the summary boxes that give them tips, summaries of key points, or those that ask them to recall main points ("check your understanding" boxes)."

"I really appreciate the informal, friendly, nonthreatening tone of the explanations and examples in the book."
