I strongly suggest that you purchase the e-textbook from the publisher and not from the PCC bookstore. You will see a link in D2L on the first day of class where you can purchase the e-textbook online and register for Labyrinth eLab where you will submit your homework and complete your tests. You will receive more information about this on the first day of class.
