About this title

Review

“I think it is the best text for this course because of the experiential approach. Excellent readability. The Applying the Concepts, Self-Assessments, workplace application questions, and the Skill Builders are exceptional, engaging, and provide personal, real world contexts.” (Lynn Klein)

“The range of topics covered is excellent and topical. I like the layout and the flow of material. In my view the level of detail is very appropriate. In particular, the mix of theory and application are very well linked. The exercises are very helpful in developing an action learning approach that will benefit the student” (Robert W. Robertson)

“The various applications are quite helpful in aiding the student to understand and the professor to assign work.” (Joni Koegel)

“There are numerous resources, enough to choose from to keep the class application oriented. It provides information that allows for engaging in class discussion and interaction between students and faculty. In comparison to other textbook these features are above average.” (Callie Burnley)
