Review
I am very impressed with the examples that you use in the textbook. They do indeed distinguish this textbook from all the others that I have used before.
The strength of this text lies in [its] pedagogical features. The boxed "Economics in . . ." sections not only add significantly to the student's understanding of applied economics, but also create great interest in economics.
This book has more than lived up to my expectations. Teaching using this textbook has been really easy. Yes, I had to make changes in my presentation when I switched to this textbook, but I found it very easy. The students also have enjoyed this textbook. I don't hear any complaints about the material presentations or the homework questions. The students' performance has improved . . . Arnold's Economics has become my favorite textbook in the 19 years that I have taught.

VERY helpful book...,
By
This review is from: Economics (with Xtra! Access Card and InfoTrac) (Hardcover)
If you are looking for a book that is broken down into plain English, is very readable, and is organized in a logical way...you've found it! For someone taking a basic level economics course, I can't recommend a better book. Everything is explained in language that is easy to read and understand. The text is organized in a logical, flowing manner, to include side notes and other helpful bits of information. Also, this book relates the information it is presenting to "real life", making it easier to visualize how economics affects our daily lives. I HIGHLY recommend this book!
