Course Books for Fall 2016

The information below is for the print editions of these titles. Students may select another format, such as an e-book, if they prefer. If selecting a non-print format, be careful in thinking ahead how you plan to read for your assignments and review for assessments. Beside the publishers’ online bookstore listed with each title, students may wish to review alternative online bookstores such as Amazon.com, Textbook.com, Abebooks.com, or untdallas-shop.com. These sites may have better pricing or used copies of the books.

There may be reading assignments for the first day of classes, so we recommend students order books well in advance.
