“I really enjoyed hearing from experts in the field. The Beng series of videos was really useful [for] extending the concepts beyond the classroom.” — Kendra Thomas, Hope College
“What I love about this book in general includes: the instructor resources that are provided. I appreciate the student-centered activities (e.g., activity sheets, true/false quizzes, and discussion questions) that make the course more engaging. Also, I like that the test bank system is also very easy to use and easy to integrate into the LMS system I use. Finally, the writing style is clear and easy to read.” — Rita Obeid, Case Western Reserve
“The text is highly readable and covers the important basics. Its additional questions and features would make it a good text to use in a class that has diverse majors.” — Joan Bihun, UC Denver
