Donald Ahrens has been widely praised for his ability to explain relatively complicated ideas so that even under-prepared students can understand them.

The text's clear and inviting narrative is supplemented by numerous pedagogical features that help augment students' understanding.

Introductory stories found at the beginning of each chapter draw students naturally into the discussion.

In-chapter reviews help students master concepts while they study, and four types of end-of-chapter exercises provide opportunities for everything from further review to in-class discussion questions.
