Resource Description and Access (RDA) Vs Anglo-American Cataloging Rules – II (AACR II)

I am just on the way to develop a manual in cataloguing for Certificate in Library and Information Science course. I thought it will better if I include examples from RDA rather going backward to AACR-II. Otherwise, I will be criticized for including content in the course that is not relevant at all. But, during my search over the web I am unable to locate any full version of RDA, even in the official RDA website. Can anyone point me to any document that will help me in this regard? Specially rendering entries for books in the catalogue cards.

I found the basic difference between the two in the official document itself that state "The foundation for RDA is the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and the Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) whereas the foundation for the first part of AACR2 was ISBD. The structure of RDA reflects this difference" Some other differences I able to locate at
