In several of our classes (and online certificates) we offer mostly free iBooks (some have a nominal charge) that are pertinent to material covered in the class. Several of the books contain the class material or focus on a specific topic that is pertinent to the class or certificate. These books were developed largely in an visual interactive format to provide a better learning experience. In the widget below is a list of the books available. If the widget does not appear try a different browser.
The iBooks that are suggested (helpful) for specific classes are:
HCS 2270 (Historical Perspective on Golf Course Design and Management): The iBook by the same class name contains the vast majority of material covered in the class (If we required a book for this class this would be it).
HCS 3470 (Principles of Turfgrass Selection and Management): The iBook that would be a good reference book for this class is entitled “Turfgrass Management: Turfgrasses“. The book provides information by various means that is applicable for both lecture and laboratory.
HCS 3475 (Turf Management for Golf Course Managers): The iBook entitled “Golf Course Management” contains all the material needed for the class and some additional material (If we required a book for this class this would be it.).
HCSZ 4570 (Turfgrass Management and Science): This course is the advanced turfgrass class that follows HCS 3470 or HCS 3475. The iBook entitled “Golf Course Management: Advanced” contains all the material needed for the class (If we required a book for this class this would be it.) In addition the iBooks entitled “Winter Injury” and “Salt Affected Sites” provides more detailed description of specific subjects covered in the course.
