A clear and entertaining look at behavior analysis

Using the clever literary device of having a fictional instructor dialog with his students, Paul Chance has put together a wonderful and entertaining text to introduce students to the science and application of behavior analysis. For those who have only heard of applied behavior analysis as being a "treatment" for autism, this book will be a fun-to-read eye-opener.

A must for great & FUN reading on Applied Behavior Analysis

Paul Chance delivers a great book loaded with material that is brought to you in a very interesting way. The setting is basically a class room with students talking to the teacher, writing facts/terms on the board, and an intense interaction with student to teacher dialogue. This book is a must for those interesting in Applied Behavior Analysis. Paul Chance makes an interesting subject extremely fun to indulge in. When moving from chapter to chapter, there is always a brief overview of everything that has been covered in the previous chapters, making it hard to forget key information! A++ book

Fascinating book, well written.

This is the most interesting "textbook" I've ever read. It has a lot of case studies and examples, plus excerpts from articles and books that are related to the topics. The book itself is well-organized and thorough. As I read it I kept wishing I'd taken a course in behavior analysis when I was in college.
