Book Tour

Take the Book Tour to learn more about your book. It will help you understand the different parts of the book and its chapters.

Your textbook can be used in two different ways. You can use it as an online textbook with interactive activities, or you can print the PDF and use it as a regular textbook.

Some activities have video or audio. When you use the online textbook, you can play the video and audio by clicking on the picture for that activity. The interactive tasks also have the video or audio you will need. However, when you download the PDF so that you can print the textbook, you will need your instructor’s help to access the video and audio.

The textbook has four appendices. You will find the answer keys, the Workplace Mentor tips, the Strategy Coach tips and the glossary in the appendices.

The content is the same whether you use the book online or if you print it. However, the experience is different. What are the main differences?
