Very readable

This is a refreshing change: a textbook that's readable, even entertaining at times. The author doesn't write in smarter-than-you "scholarese" & leave you to translate to plain English, but instead writes as if speaking to an intelligent person who doesn't happen to be familiar with the field. I like the bios of the major theorists, and the case studies used for illustration: after all, "people persons" like to hear about real people.
