Review
I was pleasantly surprised that although the book is simple, the concepts are there and hence students can learn complicated material.
The most difficult topic for students in my microeconomics course is elasticity . . . this text does an admirable job in explaining these concepts in a straightforward manner.

Best econ book!,
This review is from: Microeconomics with Xtra! Access Card (Paperback)
This book is an outstanding book, which uses a lot of graphs and good explanations! I used this book as my subtext because my econ teacher chose a very lame online book, which doesn't have as many graphs and pictures as this book has. This book explains concepts in a very clear and organized way to help you better understand. I really wanted to say "thank you" to the author!

Good book, some flaws,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microeconomics with Xtra! Access Card (Paperback)
This book has a lot of good graphs and charts which break down the topics very well. The examples are very clear and concise but the chapters seem to skip around a lot and don't flow very well together. I used this book for an online economics class and I found it hard to follow without the in-class interactions. Not really the books fault entirely, but you should know that if you are using in an online setting you may need an additional resource.
3.0 out of 5 stars
