"I find this text better than most in consistency. It is well organized and chapters are appropriately divided. ... I like the thematic inserts and the Test Your Knowledge sections. ... My students have commented that they find this section very helpful in assessing if they grasped the important issues of the topic under study. ... I particularly like the opening essays and closing reviews. The former outlines for the students the direction of the material while the latter provides a good review in a very coherent fashion. These features are most useful.""Overall I found this an exemplary text. ... The text is ideal for semester courses of 15 weeks and would certainly allow for some other assigned reading which I like. ... This is a beautiful book! The layout, maps, illustrations, use of color are very appealing. ... I especially like the summaries, "Test Your Knowledge," Identification Terms, and InfoTrac.""I really like the vision of the book as its organization works well with the way I teach thecourse. The table of contents is clear and descriptive which helps me decide what chapters I'm going to assign for the semester.""Main strengths: Short chapters, lots of study aids, good review material at the end of each chapter--these are the main criteria I use in selecting the text."--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
