The book covers all the topics discussed in the course in a comprehensive and orderly manner. Furthermore, the books was accompanied by material that helped me organize the lectures (presentations, instructor's guide).

This book is really up to date and has excellent case study examples with potential questions to generate critical thinking. The Resources, Readings and Reflections boxes offer review questions for discussion in addition to suggested hands-on exercises to provide variety within teaching programmes. Well worth a look.
