Anatomy and Physiology From Science to Life
Gerard J. Tortora, Gail W. Jenkins, Christopher P. Kemnitz
ISBN: 978-0-470-22758-9
© 2009
Anatomy and Physiology: From Science to Life, second edition, builds on the success of its first edition in providing solutions to recurring issues in A&P education–how to better motivate students and help them make the connection to what is important going forward; how to get students to see the forest for the trees; how to help students who lack study and critical thinking skills when they enter the course to succeed and develop these skills; how to make sure that adjuncts cover the key concepts throughout the course. Within this framework, the authors provide students with the knowledge and detail that is needed to move forward in allied health careers but take the emphasis off of memorization and learning many disjointed facts. The entire text is focused on aiding critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and relevant application of knowledge when studying anatomy and physiology. Anatomy and Physiology: From Science to Life, second edition, effectively blends print and media to bring the content to life for students. The conceptual focus allows for fewer pages in the printed text, making the text less intimidating to the uninitiated student. Accompanying media allows for a richer investigation of the content presented in the printed text, provides useful "background" knowledge, and ensures the students a solid reference resource when the course is complete.

The new high school edition of Cynthia Young's Intermediate Algebra helps to bridge the gap between in-class work and homework. It helps students overcome common learning barriers and builds confidence in their ability to do mathematics. The text features strong, unique pedagogy and is written in a clear voice from a single author that speaks directly to students and mirrors how instructors communicate in lectures. In this text, Young enables students to become successful, independent learners by including multiple exercise types, more opportunities to use technology, and a themed modeling project that empowers students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the world outside the classroom. The seamlessly integrated digital and print resources to accompany Intermediate Algebra offer additional tools for both instructors and students in order to help students experience success.
Meets American Diploma Project Standards for Algebra II: The goals of this unprecedented multi-state Algebra II assessment are:
- to improve high school Algebra II curriculum and instruction, including consistency of content and rigor within and across the states;
- to serve as an indicator of readiness for first-year college credit-bearing courses;
- to provide a common measure of student performance within and across the states over time.

Algebra: Form and Function
William G. McCallum, University of Arizona
Eric Connally, Wellesley College
Deborah Hughes-Hallett, University of Arizona
ISBN: 978-0-471-70708-0
© 2010
Algebra is fundamental to the working of modern society, yet its origins are as old as the beginnings of civilization. Algebraic equations describe the laws of science, the principles of engineering, and the rules of business. The power of algebra lies in its efficient symbolic representation of complex ideas. This efficiency also presents the main difficulty in learning algebra. It becomes easy to forget the underlying structure and rely instead on a surface knowledge of algebraic manipulations.
- A Balanced Approach: Form, Function, and Fluency–students are given the ability to recognize algebraic form and an understanding of the purpose of different forms.
- Restoring Meaning to Expressions and Equations–after introducing each type of function–linear, power, quadratic, exponential, polynomial–the authors study the basic forms of expressions.
- Maintaining Manipulative Skills: Tool Section–placed at the end of chapters to which they are particularly pertinent

Watch a brief video clip of Steve Ansolabehere as he talks about the abundance of data in our society and how American Government helps students make sense of it as they study politics.
American Government: Power and Purpose
THEODORE J. LOWI, BENJAMIN GINSBERG, KENNETH A. SHEPSLE, STEPHEN ANSOLABEHERE
Eleventh Edition, Hardcover
American Government: Power and Purpose does more than any other text to highlight the contemporary political science behind the phenomena reported in each chapter, making students savvy consumers of quantitative data and other political information.
In the Eleventh Edition, new co-author Steve Ansolabehere has added a 6-page primer on "Analyzing the Evidence" to provide guidance on how to read tables and graphs and how political scientists use data to test arguments. The 2-page "Analyzing the Evidence" units that appear in each of the following chapters invite students to apply this approach and see how data illuminate compelling questions in contemporary politics.
