The unique visual and organizational style of the text clearly presents key information that draws students into the material, allowing them to use their text rather than passively read it.

Also, each topic area within the chapter is divided into three parts:
  • Defined: Provides a dictionary definition of the topic
  • Explained: Gives a brief explanation of the topic
  • Applied: Talks about how businesses and people use the topic
