It is exciting, colorful, diverse, clear, and covers most of the material I teach. I like the colorful text headings for the boxes. My students have given very favorable feedback on this text as opposed to the other books I have used. I find that this text is informative on a level that is age appropriate and allows for open discussion in the classroom. The multi-media is full of positive additions and the ability to make multiple versions of the same exam is wonderful. The pictures are wonderful--clear, colorful, current, and exciting. There are plenty of online sources offered to get more information. The quotes in the margins are great discussion starters and inspiration.
