Recent Product Reviews:
"This format is highly effective, and the book meets its intended goal of being a portable compenduim of applicable references. Its strength lies in its research base. Rather than providing personal opinions based on anecdotal evidence and case studies, the book discusses principles and techniques that appear to have at least some research support."
