Review
"I really enjoyed reading this book. I think it is excellent. What I like most from this book is the realistic connection between the articles, experiments and concepts. I think that most of my students would really connect and interact well with these chapters."

"From the TOC, I would say that this text covers the basic topics many first year students need to help them be successful in college--both academically and personally. Encouraging students to reflect upon these topics and take them seriously will help them get the most out of their college experiences, and will lead to the acquisition of skills that will serve them well for their entire lives."
