Lecturer Resources
Guide
The lecturers' resources have been split into 22 Word files, and 22 Powerpoint slides, covering each of the chapters in the book. There is one Word file and one Powerpoint file for each chapter of the book. You can then save it onto your own computer and adapt it as you wish. Alternatively, you can download the whole guide in a single zip file. Most computers will be able to open zip files, but if you cannot open them then you can download Winzip.
