"This book is so practical and easy-to-use that virtually any teacher can pick it up and say, 'Aha! I can use that!' Each of the twenty-five games is solidly tied to course learning objectives. And busy teachers will love the step-by-step approach-the book gives not only the rationale for using games, but also the guidelines for employing them."
