This book integrates real-world "widget-free" examples throughout and uses extended applications to show students that economic theory has practical, problem-solving uses, and that it is not just an empty academic exercise. Students using Perloff are exposed to modern theories-such as industrial organization theories, game theory, transaction cost theory, information theory and contract theory-and benefit from the author's step-by-step approach to problem solving that demonstrates how microeconomic theory is used to solve economic problems and analyze policy issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars
easy to understand and entertaining to read too.,

This review is from: Microeconomics Plus MyEconLab Student Access Kit, Third Edition (Hardcover)
the author explains the graphs quite well in his textbook. all the examples are interesting and relate to real life. i've had the honor of having the author as a sub for our regular lecturer for a week at UC Berkeley. his book's just like his lectures, very entertaning and does not bore me to sleep.
but the book does not help with the difficult tests given since it only covers the basics, one needs to do the problems in the study guide in order to really apply the concepts.

Great for Intermediate Econ,

This review is from: Microeconomics Plus MyEconLab Student Access Kit, Third Edition (Hardcover)
Had this for my second micro course. Yes, it is light on the math, but the material is there and for someone that isn't majoring in economics, it is a good buy. The reading is very easy and the examples/applications that are in the book are very good and interesting.

A non math intensive introduction to Micro,
By "kavitharao" (Bohemia, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microeconomics Plus MyEconLab Student Access Kit, Third Edition (Hardcover)
This book is a good introduction to Microeconomics for the math challenged/adverse. The book covers all the material relevant for an introduction to Micro on a conceptual level, with plenty of examples. However, almost all the non trivial math is banished to the appendices. Depending on your point of view the lack of derivations or formulas could be either a good or a bad thing.
