I agree with the following statement of a student who major in economic: The book isn't boring, I will give it that much. But it's extremely jumpy, it jumps around a lot from page to page and almost every time it talks about a graph, that specific graph would be several pages backwards or forward. Also the definitions that it gives you during the reading is a bit different in the glossary, so you have to play around with the words a lot until you actually get it. The homework questions are just stupid, it's so open to interpretation and so broad. It also lacks the mathematics of economics - it doesn't give a lot of examples with numbers. The book is heavily dependent on theories and it DOESN'T explain ALL the formulas that economists use. The author would also be explaining a subject and suddenly get carried away, then a few paragraphs later the author would back-track. There's also no coherent pattern that the textbook follows, it's just a bunch of information clumped up together and spread across hundreds of pages of paper.Read full review
This textbook is great. It is very informative and presents the material in a logical and flowing sequence that promotes learning. It is easy to understand yet challenges you to think at the same time. I recommend this textbook to any economics student or professor because it has helped me to learn a great deal about economics and has increased my interest on the subject. It is a fairly easy read as far as textbooks go and expains the material thoroughly so that almost anyone can understand and grasp the consepts. An overall great textbook!
i decided to buy this particular book because of the great price it was available at on ebay. i searched throughout the web, and the prices were staggering. considering i will possibly drop this class. this textbook is the basic textbook that probably any professor in a first time microeconomics course will probably assign. the textbook is set up so that there is a decent amount of user friendly material available online. also it is hard to give much positive or negative feedback about this book, because i highly doubt that someone would ever purchase a book such as this, for the mere pleasure of learning about microeconomics.
I bought the microeconomics textbook one month ago and was immediately impressed with the price and quality. Although it is international edition, it has as much infromation as the U.S. edition textbook. The shipping is very fast so that I can read the book for preview before the course started. The book is very new like what seller said in the ebay. There's no mark or dirt on it.I very enjoyed this online shopping trip!
The price was definitely a bargain. The book arrived in great condition. It was apparent that it is a used copy of the text, however, being used, it was well maintained by previous owners. The book only had a bent cover. The inside pages were intact and legible.
