  • • NEW! Getting Ready: skill review quizzes are assignable throughout the course, testing students on prerequisite knowledge. From these quizzes, each student receives a personalized homework assignment to refresh forgotten concepts.
  • • NEW! Adaptive Study Plan: Pearson now offers adaptive learning functionality that continuously analyzes student work and points them toward resources that will maximize their potential for understanding and success.
  • • Guided Lecture Notes help students take thorough, organized, and understandable notes as they watch the Author in Action videos. They ask students to complete definitions, procedures, and examples based on the content of the videos and text.
  • • Retain Your Knowledge exercises help students recall previously learned skills. These problems are considered “final exam material” that students can use to maintain their skills.
  • • Internet-based Chapter Projects, with assignable exercises in MyMathLab, allow students the opportunity to experience mathematics firsthand in an active learning environment. By exploring and considering a variety of carefully guided “what-if” scenarios, they will develop a better understanding of the concepts presented in the section. Students will learn by doing and have fun in the process.
  • Michael Sullivan was a Canadian-born British art historian and collector, and one of the major Western pioneers in the field of modern Chinese art history and criticism. Sullivan was born in Toronto, Canada, and moved to England at the age of three. He was the youngest of five children of Alan Sullivan (pen name Sinclair Murray), a Canadian mining engineer turned novelist and his wife Elisabeth (née Hees).[2] Sullivan was a graduate of Rugby School and graduated from the University of Cambridge in architecture in 1939. He was in China from 1940–1946 with the International and Chinese Red Cross followed by teaching and doing museum work in Chengdu, where he met and married Wu Huan (Khoan), a biologist who gave up her career to work with him. He received a PhD from Harvard University (1952) and a post-doctoral Bollingen Fellowship. He subsequently taught in the University of Singapore, and returned to London in the 1960s to teach at the School of Oriental and African Studies. Then he became Christensen Professor of Chinese art in the Department of Art at Stanford University from 1966 to 1984, before moving to the University of Oxford as a Fellow by Special Election at St Catherine's College, Oxford. He lived in Oxford, England. He was Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford for 1973–74. Sullivan was a major art collector who owned more than 400 works of art, including paintings by Chinese masters Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, and Wu Guanzhong. His was one of the world's most significant collections of modern Chinese art. He bequeathed his collection to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which has a gallery dedicated to Sullivan and his wife Khoan
