Both students and staff can read this text with profit. He gives us an excellent picture of what is happening as we speak.” -Charles Kutscher, Syracuse University “Carlson brings a high level of scholarship, current research and descriptive clarity together in one supremely useable textbook package.” -Rebecca R.
