NUTF 10: Principles of Nutrition
Kaya Teh · Sierra College
This book is organized by nutrient rather than using a functional approach, which means that the material is organized around nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, etc... rather than physiological functions, such as fluid and electrolyte balance, antioxidant function, bone health, energy and metabolism, and blood health. Keep in mind that the nutrients must all work together in order for our body to function optimally.

The Art of Being Human
Michael Wesch · Kansas State University
Anthropology is the study of all humans in all times in all places. But it is so much more than that. “Anthropology requires strength, valor, and courage,” Nancy Scheper-Hughes noted. “Pierre Bourdieu called anthropology a combat sport, an extreme sport as well as a tough and rigorous discipline. … It teaches students not to be afraid of getting one’s hands dirty, to get down in the dirt, and to commit yourself, body and mind. Susan Sontag called anthropology a “heroic” profession.”

A Dam Good Argument

Learning about how persuasion works will make you a more thoughtful and skeptical consumer of all that content, so that you can come to your own conclusions and recognize the underlying assumptions that inform attempts to persuade you. This book is about analyzing others' arguments and crafting your own. The rhetorical choices that you make as a writer–from evidence to structure to tone–impact how your audience will receive your ideas. Using those tools effectively will help your voice be heard.

Foundations in Statistical Reasoning
Peter Kaslik · Pierce College Fort Steilacoom
This book starts by presenting an overview of the statistical thought process. By the end of chapter 2, students are already familiar with concepts such as hypotheses, level of significance, p-values, errors. Normally these topics are not introduced until after a discussion of probability and sampling distributions. My approach to probability and sampling distributions is also very different.
