"This book SHOULD be required. [The authors] have created a lively, insightful, and tangible source that students can utilize in the classroom and in life. They want to read the book because it speaks to them, and it provides me with a classroom full of hungry, alert minds."
Excellent survival guide for first year students.
I read an earlier edition when I was an undergraduate and i felt legitimized. Many students have said that this is one book that they will not sell back.
