Preface

Summer 2026 Note:

From July to mid August, I will be going through all chapters to make minor edits and updates. I also expect to add current event examples at the end of many chapters. While these edits should update and enhance the resource, it shouldn’t substantially change and can be used now for planning purposes for anyone adopting it in the 2026-27 school year.

While these edits are being made, the book will remain online. An update will be posted to this page when edits are complete.

You can contact me at choopes@wlu.edu with any questions or for additional information!

Note: Instructor resources to accompany this book (syllabus, slides, and assignments) are also in development and are expected to be available by summer 2027.
