This textbook applies a fundamental geographical approach to understanding our globally changing world by looking at local processes which are linked to larger global processes and events. The textbook includes numerous case studies specific to British Columbia as well as a number of suggested service learning activities. Over the course of four days in June, 2014, 5 faculty members from across British Columbia supported by a facilitator, librarian, researcher, illustrator, programmer and instructional designer, created this book. This involved drawing on our own research, teaching and experience and working with the team to put it all together into an online format; one which would be accessible to students and educators alike. Beyond the unique way in which this book was created in a Book Sprint process, there are other elements of this book that make it unique. First, it takes a holistic approach to first year Geography, incorporating elements of Physical, Human, and Regional Geography, as well as bringing in methods and perspectives from Spatial Information Science. Pedagogically, this book incorporates elements of service learning and suggested service learning activities recognizing that the study of Geography is deeply connected to the communities we live in. Many of the suggestions for service learning are illustrated through the use of case studies from across BC. The book is aimed at a a first year or introductory Geography student, and would be suitable for a first year Geography course on BC.4312018-09-07T17:22:01Z2024-01-22T14:52:11ZResearch Methods in Psychology - 2nd Canadian Edition<img alt="Read more about Research Methods in Psychology - 2nd Canadian Edition" title="Research Methods in Psychology - 2nd Canadian Edition cover image" class="cover " width="625" height="809" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzYwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--338566967949d29725b648f2d6ee08a579bfeb3f/0000ResMetCan.png" />The present adaptation constitutes the second Canadian edition and was co-authored by Rajiv S.

The first is through visual adaptations of the key content in the book. It is well documented that many of today's students are visual learners. To meet students' wants and needs (and thereby create a much better teaching experience for professors), Mastering Strategic Management contains multiple graphic concept pages in ever section of every chapter of the book. Think of graphic concept pages as almost like info-graphics for key concepts in each section. This feature sets Mastering Strategic Management apart from any strategic management book on the market today. The second way the authors capture student interest through their textbook is by using a real-world company as the running example in each chapter. For example, Chapter 1 in Mastering Strategic Management utilizes Blackberry to harness the conceptual coverage of the chapter in a running, corporate, application to which students will relate. The third inventive way Mastering Strategic Management holds the attention of strategic management students is through the “strategy at the movies” feature in each chapter that links course concepts with a popular motion picture.4282018-09-07T17:22:01Z2024-01-22T14:52:10ZNature of Geographic Information Systems<img alt="Read more about Nature of Geographic Information Systems" title="Nature of Geographic Information Systems cover image" class="cover " width="874" height="1111" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzU3LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--b4fbeb7798f571161300b5695debbdcf343372d6/0000NatGeoInf.png" />The purpose of this text is to promote understanding of the Geographic Information Science and Technology enterprise (GIS&T, also known as “geospatial”).4272018-09-07T17:22:01Z2024-01-22T14:52:10ZIntroduction to Psychology - 1st Canadian Edition<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Psychology - 1st Canadian Edition" title="Introduction to Psychology - 1st Canadian Edition cover image" class="cover " width="625" height="797" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzU2LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--9b87558536c62af446c7b98b17dd82ae39aa31ba/0000CanadaPsy.png" />This book is designed to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. The beginning of each section includes learning objectives; throughout the body of each section are key terms in bold followed by their definitions in italics; key takeaways, and exercises and critical thinking activities end each section.
