-- Frank Fuller"Abernathy’s text distinguishes itself through the combination of historical references and contemporary examples."
-- James Ronan"One of the most readable texts I’ve read; good for non-majors who aren’t interested in tons of theory, but don’t want to be talked down to."
-- William Housel"Well written and timely… The stories feel natural, not strained or forced."
-- Thomas Baldino
