FROM THE PUBLISHER

Imagine if the top student in your course organized the most important points from your textbook or lecture into an easy-to-read, laminated chart that could fit directly into your notebook or binder.

SparkCharts™-created by Harvard students for students everywhere-serve as study companions and reference tools that cover a wide range of subjects, including Business, Math, Science, History, Humanities, Foreign Language, and Writing. Titles like Presentations and Public Speaking, Essays and Term Papers, Resumes and Cover Letters, and Test Prep give you what it takes to find success in college and beyond. Outlines and summaries cover key points, while diagrams and tables make difficult concepts easier to digest.

All for the price of that late-night cappuccino you'll no longer need!
