Less is more

Wild is the most direct, concise and systematic text in the market. With a "to-the-point," research-backed approach that incorporates extensive visuals, bullet point discussions, and an active writing style, Wild is the way.

Blocked content

Learning science shows that students learn better when material is broken into “blocks” of content. Each chapter opens with a visual preview of the content blocks and learning objectives highlighting the location of the content.

Summary Cheat Sheets

At the end of each chapter, Summary Cheat Sheets are provided to reinforce student learning. Cheat Sheets are roughly one page in length and include key procedures, concepts, journal entries, and formulas. These are assignable within Connect.
