Clearly written and easy to understand, this fully customizable, four-color lab manual contains 46 lab exercises with more than 600 color, labeled photographs and diagrams. Most of the exercises can be completed by the reader within two hours and require minimal input from the instructor. Flexibly organized, the presentation of the material allows instructors to vary the length of most exercises, many of which are divided into several parts, by deleting portions of the procedure without sacrificing the overall purpose of the experiment.
