Classic and contemporary readings, exercises, and guided student projects are presented in this notebook-sized workbook/reader, with perforated assignment sheets that can be torn out and handed in. The exercises and readings illuminate or expand on the basic concepts introduced in the text, providing background information and insight, and they range from beginning to intermediate in skill level. A series of exercises drawn from a single language is designed to show you the interconnectedness of different levels of analysis. Web exercise sections conclude with pointers to InfoTrac College Edition, and to the companion website, where you'll find glossary flashcards, interactive exercises, links to relevant additional websites, study questions, and key words to guide them in additional readings in the InfoTrac collection of articles.
