This textbook is designed as a free, open-source textbook to be used, shared, and changed as the user sees fit. Many outside OER sources and authors have been cited in this textbook, these resources are also open-source resources. Based on the different sources used, some chapters may be formatted somewhat differently from others. The “voice” of each chapter may be somewhat different also because of different authors being used. Personally, I think this adds to the textbook and provides a more open perspective on the material.
