Learning aids like diagrams, tables, and flowcharts to reinforce key concepts with lucid and accessible language ensures that even complex theories are presented in an easily digestible manner. Name Index and Subject Index – One of the key features of this book allows quick reference to key thinkers, concepts, and administrative terms—especially helpful during revision.
