The text is well organized, objectives are laid out in a manner that is easy for students to follow, and the graphs and illustrations help illustrate points judiciously, rather than just as filler. Information is relevant and the writing is at an appropriate level.
The material is well written and presented to the reader. I like the word list for each chapter, the end of the chapter activities, and the chapter organization.
