Now featuring the contributions of new co-author John M.

Points of View sections provide varied vantage points on important topics, and Visual Portfolios draw students into interpreting the visual record. This carefully crafted, ready-to-go collection saves instructors time and effort in finding consistently engaging and informative sources.
