  Summary

Dalton, Elias, and Wandersman have answered the challenge of taking an abstract, theoretical topic and made it lively and understandable with concrete examples, so students can understand the concepts and be excited by it. The authors have done this through consistent pedagogy across the book, and most importantly have created opportunities to practice applying these concepts, so that they come alive for students.
