Reviews / Votes
"The learning activities throughout the book are a particularly innovative way to encourage readers to think outside of their own experiences and culture. Before this book was published, students and even professors likely had to rely on personal or anecdotal experience or a limited amount of research on these concepts. The incorporation of the real-life case studies provides a wide variety of examples on how those concepts have been put into practice."--Doody's Book Review
