What's New

New features:

Guideposts are broad overview questions to help students begin the chapter thinking about specific ideas and issues. Guideposts are repeated in the chapter margins next to the corresponding text discussion and again at the end of the chapter for student review.

Checkpoints appear periodically within the text to help students check their mastery of the material.

What's Your View? gives students the opportunity to answer questions geared to help them personalize the important and relevant topics and issues in each chapter.]

Link-ups To Look For open each Part in the text and provide examples of connections between domains in each period of life.
