Presentation and exploration

Each chapter offers concise presentation of key concepts. Additional investigations guide students through the examination of real-world artifacts and case studies to put the concepts into context and test the limits of the ideas presented.

Study questions

Questions throughout the text encourage close reading and guide students to key information.
