Student Study Guide Prepared by Joel Colton and Megan McLean, this user-friendly Study Guide helps students process and master important concepts in the text not through rote memorization but by stimulating reflection and interpretation. For each of the 133 sections of the textbook, the Study Guide provides study questions, key discussion sentences, and identification test questions. Each chapter includes general essay questions and general discussion passages. Selected map exercises are also provided. In addition, questions on the numerous illustrations in the text are included in the sections to which they most closely relate and are designed to encourage interpretation and analysis, specifically on the ways in which the illustrations supplement the discussions in the text.
