I rented this rental textbook for a class and I liked it so much. This textbook is well put together, with a lot of solid information. Richardson creates an easy to understand resource for any teacher who would like to promote 21st Century skills in the classroom. I really appreciated the theoretical side of the book and the many practical examples.
