I was teaching mathematics and computer science in the middle 1980's when the Ada wave began to hit the Department of Defense (DoD) contractors hard. The mandates to use Ada in all DoD contracts forced a local avionics company to immediately begin the shift over to programming in Ada. Since many of our students were employees there, we were also forced to change our course offerings. I immediately had to learn Ada and this book was one of the resources I turned to. At the time, I was fluent in Pascal and had some rudimentary knowledge of C.
I found the descriptions and examples in this book very easy to understand and work through. There were some errors, but nothing that I considered serious. After going through the book, I was able to answer student questions in the computer center when they were stumped over their programs. I was also able to write the programs in Ada that were used in a research project that was funded through a grant. The stipulations of the grant were that I must use Ada in all my investigations.

I am very pleased with text; it is a excellent introduction to working with families for the new social worker or social work student. I especially enjoyed how it differentiated between social work and therapy since those two terms often get used interchangeably.

Book as delivered on the time frame promissed.
The conditions were exactly as described.
Will use, and recomend this service again.

Book in great condition. Delivery longer than expected with media mail. But found out that is normal.

I am a psychology student, and I was under the instruction of Professor Lippa, and we used this book for his class. I enjoyed his class, and this book. It supplied real-life scenarios to drive his points home. I feel that every student of psychology should read this book.

This book is very well-written and well-organized. EZ to navigate and no problems finding specific info when I need it. Thanks!

This book is awesome. I always hated math in high school, and never did well. In college I left it right to the end of my program because I dreaded it. This book saved my ... and got me interested in learning. This is the first math class that I've done well in and it's all thanks to this book.

The Discussion sections have tons of examples that are meticulously explained. The Investigations offer a hands on approach to learning through a sort of discovery approach. Plus it's a workbook so you can write in it and not have to waste money on paper.

I always hated doing homework, especially story problems--because I didn't know where to start. This book has story problems I could relate to--and some of them even made me laugh. Imagaine actually enjoying a math book!!!!

I even called the publisher to see if they had a book for the next class--I liked it that much! I guess there will be one next year--too late for me but I think I have a solid base to get going with now.

I highly recommend this book. Every college prealgebra class should use this book and help take the fear out of math.

I'm a media specialist and I just received a copy for my school. It's nice to be able to recommend a book about teens with everyday problems - first dates, best friends, annoying mothers, etc. The main character's upbeat tone and sense of humor make it a relatable and solid read.

This book grabs hold and doesn't let go until you reach the very last page! I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for more from this author!

I was introduced to this book by my dance teacher who just so happens to be the author. I was studying, in fact, the basics of jass dance in order to furthur educate myself on the art. This book proved invaluable and was splendidly written and I highly recommend it.
