The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints, suggest
xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf



ed activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables in the textb
xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf



ook are found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources will make
xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf



i t easier for course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner. Because
xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf



th e courses that use this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to organize the
xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf



chapte rs into one best order. Each instructor should consider his or her individual
xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf xf



program and determine which chapters need to be taught and in what order.
