Peoples & Bailey Textbook Overview – Assignment Instructions One of the major values of a traditional overview textbook is that it structures information to allow you various ways of understanding the material.

Then check out the features of the chapters: the visual aids, the Global Challenges & Opportunities sections, the Concepts Reviews, and Chapter Summaries.

Then please write two short paragraphs of at least five sentences each responding to the following: 1) What features of the book might you find most useful? 2) Which topics might you find most interesting during the semester?
