Publisher Synopsis
I love that the text uses Bloom's taxonomy. The change implementation model is an effective piece to promote discussions and tie those concepts to student learning and academic self.

It is so down to earth, uses concrete examples, case scenarios and allows students the ability to assess and correct their thoughts and behaviors. -- Betty Fortune -- Houston Community College Read more...
