Review:

"I found Deitz/Southam style to be more direct, rather than wordy and confusing....[T]his text is clear cut and understandable....I would strongly consider adopting this text...." Cheryl Macon, Butler County Community College

Deitz/Southam is very easy to read and understand....I like the objective approach, the color, end-of-chapter assignments, and the overall chapter content. Again, a text is a tool, and Deitz/ Southam does a good job. Steven P. Teeter, Utah Valley State College

"...[E]ach chapter stands on its own merits and covers a single topic. This allows me to jump around in the book, sequencing material the way I want to present it. Organization is one area where I think the Deitz/Southam book excels. Steven P. Teter, Utah Valley State College
