Where You're Going. The objectives and terms for each chapter are recapped to tie concepts together.
Walking Tour. This section provides a narrative summary of the chapter and incorporates questions on key points. Answers are given in the margin.
Hands On. Geographical and numerical exercises clarify concepts and better prepare students for tests and quizzes.
Economics in the News. A news item illustrates how concepts covered in the chapter can appear in the real world. Questions and answers reinforce the concepts.
Questions for Review. These questions and answers follow the key chapter concepts, preparing students for the self-test.
Self-Test. Extra test preparation increases a student's understanding and ability to succeed.
Careers in Economics. Formerly an appendix in the text, this material provides students with an understanding of where the study of economics could lead them.
