The Instructor’s Manual includes a list of learning objectives, instructional hints, suggested
b b b b b b b b b b b




activities, and resources for each chapter. Files for the figures and tables in the textbook are
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources will make it easier for
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner. Because the courses that
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




use this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to organize the chapters into one best
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




order. Each instructor should consider his or her individual program and determine which
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




chapters need to be taught and inwhat order.
