An excellent book containing all of the information I required to teach this subject. I am sure that I will refer to this book on a regular basis.

This is an excellent book and introduces a number of subject areas essential to my students reading. This would be essential if the focus gave examples outside of America more regularly as the information is not always generalisable into UK population. It would be useful to have a UK edition.

Best fit for the type of course content coverage. Readability and use of great examples/case studies.

Largely, explores topic areas from a North American viewpoint and therefore, not entirely relevant to the situation in the UK.
