<p>A well-documented, theory-based treatment that focuses on instructional design’s application to industry and K-12 education. Offers extensive procedural assistance, emphasizing the foundations and first principles upon which most of the models and procedures in the field are built. An Extended Example (now online) showcases applications of concepts and techniques using a single subject area and course (Digital Photography).</p>

<p>How does a marble manufacturer know that the color will be consistent throughout the products being made? How can you tell if liquid at the bottom of a container is the same consistency as at the top? How does a pellet manufacturer know if the pellets are consistently the same size? How does a chemical manufacturer know if the percent purity in a sample is representative of the whole batch? These and similar questions are answered in A Primer for Sampling Solids, Liquids, and Gases: Based on the Seven Sampling Errors of Pierre Gy. Author Patricia L. Smith illustrates what to look for in sampling devices and procedures to obtain correct samples from bulk materials. She gives sampling guidelines that can be applied immediately and shows how to analyze protocols to uncover sampling problems.</p>
