Reviews / Votes
"....I am very high on the project. I can't quite bring myself to call it a "book"; it promises to be so much more than that!" - Sam Watson, University of North Carolina, Charlotte"The author creates a wonderfully flexible learning environment." - Sandra Jamieson, Drew University
"To be quite honest, this is the most innovative text I have seen in quite a while Rodrigues identifies topics that should be of interest to students, but allows instructors much flexibility to structure the course themselves." - Joann Buck, Guilford Technical Community College
