The Fine Print

Please note that all examination and desk copies are provided at the publisher's discretion and may only be obtained by eligible course instructors who wish to assess a potential textbook before placing a course order.

For digital examination copies, you will have three months to review the book. If you choose to adopt the book for your course, we can send you an e-book that does not expire, or a print copy.
