A Note to My Colleagues:

The goal is quality without compromise. To achieve this objective, I have always been personally involved in all aspects of developing our texts. Beyond the writing, I work on the production and design of the books, select the images that appear on the pages, just as I personally write the test-item files and oversee all the supplements. Now this author involvement reaches a new level with the new versions of MySocLab.
