Human values are emphasized in the issues addressed throughout the book. * The introduction includes sections on critical reasoning and steps for successful reading. * Abundant study tools include chapter openers; introductions, definitions of unfamiliar terms, and critical reading questions before each reading: and discussion questions following the selections.
