It contains many of the same topics as mainstream textbooks, but it includes and takes very seriously heterodox critiques and alternatives to the mainstream approach to economics. It includes a whole range of alternative theories, including Post-Keynesian, Austrian, Marxian, radical, feminist, institutionalist, and other approaches. The purpose is to teach students about alternative schools of economic thought but also to deepen their understanding of the dominant, neoclassical approach to economics. In this sense, it draws a great deal of inspiration from Richard Wolff and Stephen Resnick’s Contending Economic Theories. Following Wolff and Resnick, an even broader objective is to teach students that economics is a discourse and that no single voice can rightfully claim to have a monopoly on the truth about economics.7382019-06-29T16:57:22Z2024-01-22T14:52:21ZIntroduction to Community Psychology<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Community Psychology" title="Introduction to Community Psychology cover image" class="cover " width="331" height="500" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjgzLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--3187fc625fee16442ea4fdafb99019c9a128a7ea/0000IntComPsy.png" />This textbook will show you how to comprehensively analyze, investigate, and address escalating problems of economic inequality, violence, substance abuse, homelessness, poverty, and racism.

Laboratory exercises provide students with experience in basic laboratory skills, gathering and organizing data, measuring and calculating, hypothesis testing, analysis of data, writing, and laboratory safety. The skill sets are designed to promote the development of critical thought and analysis. Students work with living and preserved specimens, and laboratory reagents and equipment.7352019-06-29T15:09:02Z2024-01-22T14:52:04ZIntroduction to Programming using Fortran 95/2003/2008<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Programming using Fortran 95/2003/2008" title="Introduction to Programming using Fortran 95/2003/2008 cover image" class="cover " width="652" height="844" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjgwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--94a6928950ef9a742bc476af7e397cf3b4950911/0000ProFortra.png" />Computers are everywhere in our daily lives. Between the desktop, laptop, phone, bank, and vehicle, it is difficult to completely get away from computers. It only makes sense to learn a little about how a computer really works.This text provides an introduction to programming and problem solving using the Fortran 95/2003/2008 programming language. This introduction is geared for non-computer science majors. The primary focus is on an introduction to problem solving and algorithm development. As such, many details of the Fortran 95/2003/2008 language are omitted.7332019-06-22T20:16:16Z2024-01-22T14:52:04Zx86-64 Assembly Language Programming with Ubuntu<img alt="Read more about x86-64 Assembly Language Programming with Ubuntu" title="x86-64 Assembly Language Programming with Ubuntu cover image" class="cover " width="721" height="890" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Njc4LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--37c88a8474067b4db1dea8df8e264800603306db/0000AssemblyU.png" />The purpose of this text is to provide a reference for University level assembly language and systems programming courses. Specifically, this text addresses the x86-64 instruction set for the popular x86-64 class of processors using the Ubuntu 64-bit Operating System (OS). While the provided code and various examples should work under any Linux-based 64-bit OS, they have only been tested under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64-bit). The x86-64 is a Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) CPU design. This refers to the internal processor design philosophy. CISC processors typically include a wide variety of instructions (sometimes overlapping), varying instructions sizes, and a wide range of addressing modes. The term was retroactively coined in contrast to Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC3).7322019-06-22T19:51:42Z2024-01-22T14:52:21ZIntroduction to Oceanography<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Oceanography" title="Introduction to Oceanography cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Njc3LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--de2c7105a9bb2aea95dc07b14e461e91a607f8b2/0000InttoOcea.jpg" />Introduction to Oceanography is a textbook appropriate to an introductory-level university course in oceanography.

OER stands for Open Educational Resource, which means it’s free for all who access. Since it is electronic, I will do what I can to keep it updated with the changing media. People’s viewing habits are changing as they migrate to mobile sources, social media, and kitten videos.Television News is still a dominant #1 source, and radio is still the safest way to stay informed in your car. Hopefully, you already have some journalism background. This book does not teach the who, what, when, where, why, and how of reporting; its goal is to teach how to present the journalism you already know via electronic media, primarily television.7302019-06-22T18:30:17Z2024-03-13T22:08:42ZMythology Unbound: An Online Textbook for Classical Mythology<img alt="Read more about Mythology Unbound: An Online Textbook for Classical Mythology" title="Mythology Unbound: An Online Textbook for Classical Mythology cover image" class="cover " width="600" height="800" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Njc1LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--2deb1aed83cfe64cfb539994686adde195959202/0000MytholUnb.jpg" />Mythology Unbound7292019-06-22T17:20:37Z2024-01-22T19:07:12ZSpeaking of Culture<img alt="Read more about Speaking of Culture" title="Speaking of Culture cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Njc0LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--35ea6d728f7441982dafe73280544d850f407ddb/0000SpeaofCul.jpg" />“Speaking of Culture” is a collection of instructor-authored background readings intended to accompany other activities, discussions, experiences, projects, and readings for IELI 2470 – Cross-Cultural Perspectives, a course offered by faculty in the Intensive English Language Institute at Utah State University.
