Retained Features
· A 16 chapter text allows an instructor time to get through reading material and be able to integrate additional outside material if he/she desires.
The authors designed the text to facilitate active learning by relying on the following:
· Hands-On Exercises (one to two per chapter) are included to help the reader personalize and expand upon key concepts. These exercises encourage active and thoughtful interaction, rather than passive reading. · Brief chapter opening cases provide a real-world context for the topics at hand and timely and relevant applications of the theory presented in each chapter. Interpretations for each case may be found at the text website. · One to four Skills and Best Practices boxes per chapter are designed to sharpen skills by either recommending how to apply a concept, theory, or model or by giving a real-life application of what is being discussed. Students will benefit from hands-on experience and direct skill-building opportunities. · A favorite among both students and instructors, up-to-date real-world examples permeate the text discussion and bring key concepts to life for the reader.
