activities, and resources for each chapter. Files forthefigures and tables in the textbookare

found on theinstructor’s website.It ismyhope that these resourceswillmake i t easier for course

instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner. Because th e courses that use this
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n

n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
instructor should consider his or her individual program and determine which
