Study skills, such as summarizing, note taking, highlighting key points, and test preparation, are also taught. Topics correspond with those in Academic Listening Encounters: Human Behavior, and these books can be used together as a four-skills course; however, they function equally well as stand-alone texts. A Human Behavior 2-Book Set is available (ISBN 0-521-891655). It includes one copy of the Student's Reading Book and one copy of the Student's Listening Book at a discounted price.« less
