Perfect. “Everything I needed for my class! Easily able to follow once I understood the layout. I definitely recommend buying the book with the access code!”—Logan S., Amazon Reviewer

Easy to understand. “Great book, easy to understand and a great tool to study with.”—Melissa, Amazon Reviewer

Highly recommend it.“…I really like the learning format. The text uses "programmed learning" to help you learn the information by providing fill-in-the-blanks as you read. I also feel the information is explained very well.”— Dez, Amazon Reviewer
