Need a break from the internet?

We know a good internet connection is not always within reach, but that downtime – on a plane, in remote locations, or completely off the grid – is sometimes the best opportunity for distraction-free study. In addition to reading this book online, you can download the text portions in a free EPUB or digital PDF. However, these formats won’t support the interactivities that make up a large portion of this textbook content – so plan to come back online for those.
