The text can best be used by readers as a resource for learning about a particular topic. There are
several ways this can be approached. The table of contents provide an initial orientation, or map, to
the book, and each chapter begins with a list of the main headings to help you orient yourself in the
book. The subject index at the end of the book includes all key words and topics and can also be used
for an initial search.
Each chapter contains boxes to help you explore the background, relevance and research on the
themes and theories discussed in the book. Symbols beside the boxes help you navigate so you can
quickly find summaries; review; name-check; and take it further with key quotes and additional
information.
