INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, International Edition offers a practical
approach to the study of intermediate algebra concepts, consistent
with the needs of today's student. The authors help students to
develop a solid understanding of functions by revisiting key topics
related to functions throughout the text. They put special emphasis
on the worked examples in each section, treating them as the
primary means of instruction, since students rely so heavily on
examples to complete assignments. The applications (both within the
examples and exercises) are also uniquely designed so that students
have an experience that is more true to life-students must read
information as it appears in headline news sources and extract only
the relevant information needed to solve a stated problem. The
unique pedagogy in the text focuses on promoting better study
habits and critical thinking skills along with orienting students
to think and reason mathematically. Through INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA,
International Edition, students will not only be better prepared
for future math courses, they will be better prepared to solve
problems and answer questions they encounter in their own lives.
Wit, wisdom, adventure, and revelations from sixty years on the
road. They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur
and landscape of America: the winding mountainsides at sunrise, the
first frosts of winter descending on apple orchards, the call of
the rising roosters. In A Trucker's Tale, Ed Miller gives an inside
look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul
our goods on the open road. He shares what it was like to grow up
in a boisterous trucking family, his experience as an equipment
officer in Vietnam, the wide range of vehicles he's mounted, and
the daily trials, tribulations, risks, and exploits that define
life as a trucker. Ed's vibrant, no-holds-barred tales are
hilarious and heartwarming, sometimes cringeworthy or
unbelievable-recollections of heroic feels as well as the "fishing
stories" that have stretched and shifted from CB radio to CB radio.
Many are the results of what he calls, "just plain stupidity."
Others bring to light the small acts of kindness and grand gestures
that these Knights of the Highway perform each day, as well as the
safety risks and continual danger that these essential workers
endure. Together they paint a compelling portrait of one of the
most important, but least-known industries, and reveal why Ed, and
so many like him, just kept on truckin'.
