ReviewsInstructor Quotes "I have used the last five editions of Henslin and consider it to be the best written among those I've read. The organization is logical, the content is comprehensive and the examples of concepts are very suited to the concepts." Steven Vassar, Minnesota State University "Overall, the text is amazing. My students find the information fun and interesting. They enjoy reading about Dr. Henslin's personal experiences as well as cultural experiences." Ben Shirley, Alamance Community College "I've been using Henslin's text in class for several semesters because, in my opinion, it's organization and structure is very student friendly. Comments I've received from actual students always attest to this fact." Lori Maida, Westchester Community College "In sum, I find Henslin's text to be extremely well written and comprehensive. It is a useful text because it is student friendly and extremely readable and relevant. Henslin uses examples that students can relate to easily and provides vignettes that foster discussion in class." Lori Maida, Westchester Community College "The organization is excellent. Arranging the text into parts is particularly an excellent idea." Anthony Woart, Bluefield State College "My students really enjoy the boxed items and humanized examples. Henslin helps students understand lofty academic ideas through pictures."
