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


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


the textbook are found on the instructor’s website. It is my hope that these resources
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


will make it easier for course instructors to teach the material in a meaningful manner.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


Because the courses that use this textbook are quite diverse, it is impossible to
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


organize the chapters into one best order. Each instructor should consider his or her
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


individual program and determine which chapters need to be taught and in what
b b b b b b b b b b b b b


order.
