Have you ever driven by a classy, gated community and wondered what the hell is going on in there? Perfect for fans of the Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, which gave the reader a behind-the-scenes view of the inner workings of the New York City restaurant scene, The Florida Club offers an inside look at country club living in a gated Florida community. In 2019, with his partners mired in legal trouble and danger closing in, New York businessman Ray Brown decided on a major life change, trading the frenzied world of New York real estate for a relaxed life of leisure in Southwest Florida. The Florida Club follows Ray's story as he acclimates to...
Barnett, Ziegler, Byleen, and Sobecki’s College Algebra with Trigonometry text is designed to be user friendly and to maximize student comprehension by emphasizing computational skills, ideas, and problem solving as opposed to mathematical theory. The large number of pedagogical devices employed in this text will guide a student through the course. Integrated throughout the text, students and instructors will find Explore-Discuss boxes which encourage students to think critically about mathematical concepts. In each section, the worked examples are followed by matched problems that reinforce the concept being taught. In addition, the text contains an abundance of exercises and applications that will convince students that math is useful. A MathZone site featuring algorithmic exercises, videos, and other resources accompanies the text.
Barnett, Analytic Trigonometry is a text that students can actually read, understand, and apply. Concept development moves from the concrete to abstract to engage the student. Almost every concept is illustrated by an example followed by a matching problem allowing students to practice knowledge precisely when they acquire it. To gain student interest quickly, the text moves directly into trigonometric concepts and applications and reviews essential material from prerequisite courses only as needed. Extensive chapter review summaries, chapter and cumulative review exercises with answers keyed to the corresponding text sections, effective use of color comments and annotations, and prominent d...
Here, author Irving Buchen projects and describes the workforce of the future while offering a comprehensive survey of contemporary work environments with descriptions of future learning and unlearning training systems.
"Writing the first edition of a math text, especially in an evolving area like quantitative reasoning, is part art and part science. You use your training and experience as an instructor to decide on the approach and the most appropriate topics. You travel a lot and talk to anyone who doesn't run away when they see you coming to gather more professional opinions. You count on your crack publisher's team to conduct surveys and focus groups. Then you put it all together and make some educated guesses, hoping that the result hits the mark"--
