Victorina Lefebvre

"I think there is a real need for a book like this that takes a 'bare-bones' approach."—Thomas Newlin, Oberlin College

Thomas Newlin

"Indeed, one of the values of this textbook is that it is geared to programs that can offer only 3-4 days per week of classroom instruction."—Cynthia Ruder, University of Kentucky
