Getting Better...

...because it's easier to navigate. When teaching last year, I often referred to Driscoll & Nagel's third edition but had difficulty with the format. They squeezed too much in each panel. They used too many unsual sidebars. They obscured the basic content with their layout... ...but this is much better. The most impressive section is Chapter 6(Families and Communities) because of their strong "closer looks" into real-life applications of the content. An added superelative is a section on the education of homeless children. It's not even that expensive.
