Once Again the Facts and Figures Tell the Story!

This is a wonderful text because the language level required of the ESL student is at first low, but the methodical building of reading skills and vocabulary make this a fantastic text for beginning and false beginning students. The reading passages are of international interest and quite intersting besides. This is just another of the winning texts from Patricia Ackert and her co-authors.
