Used This Book Instead of the Twelfth Edition

I decided to get this book instead of the twelfth edition of the book, and the only differences I can remember between this edition and the twelfth edition based course packets I received was updated census estimates (to be expected) and different page numbers (to be expected).

Good reference material

As a teacher, we are required to take tests. This book filled in the gaps I had in my education. It gave me a foundation to understand what I had to read to understand. It is a good textbook for those in college but those who have been out of school may want to read it slowly.

Supplementary materisl

I am using your text this summer and fall with teachers/graduate students. I would appreciate any material, text banks, or others that you can send me. I also need some suggestions as to how you think one would utilize this text during the short summer sessions. I will comment on the text after I have used it with my graduate students summer session II. Mail any materials to P.O. Box 1074, Indianola, Mississippi 38751. I am a Mac user. Rhoda Thanks for your help.
