I had to quickly cancel the order. I saw the hardback at >$150 and the paperback at around $40, figured let's go for the paperback. What's not clear is that the "paperback version" is the study guide, not the book itself. Too misleading.

This book helps you understand the key concepts and includes many table charts. By reviewing and working the end of chapter exercises that should help you do well on the tests. The information in the book will help you understand why different countries have different GDP per capita. You will learn a lot by reviewing frequently and putting the time into this class.

Frankly, yes, it does not go out of its way to spell out certain details, but I think that it is the least confusing way to present information. I find that it complements my professor's lectures very well. I've had far worse econ texts: this one is straightforward and uses language that is easy to understand without oversimplifying or "talking down" to the reader.

I have recently taken Macroeconomics and Microeconomics. The subject was difficult, but able to be grasped with some study. (I am an adult student)As for the "International Economics" textbook, I feel it is very poor as an educational medium. If you ever really sit and attempt to read this thing, all you are reading are a bunch of letters. There is no sense to the material and very little attempt to clarify anything. It is confusing enough to learn a difficult subject without having to decipher every letter of the alphabet into a different word or variable. I understand brevity is necessary to avoid repetition, but please! This is to be a learning tool. There should at least be some attempt to 'spell out' the information once. I feel this book was a very bad investment on my part, and would never have been my chosen text for this topic. I wouldn't even give it one star, but that was as low as I was able to select.

If you are enrolled in International Economics or simply want to crack an International Economics textbook, then this book should satisfy your needs. What can I say, it is a textbook.

This book is very difficult to read as far as the main text is concerned. The graphs do help students understand the concepts but the organization is poor. After reading a chapter, I still do not get the "big picture". The authors do not attempt to provide any type of guide or roadmap for us to follow. You cannot learn anything from this book unless you are going to your prof's lectures.

I ordered this book less than 24 hours ago and its already here. I'm impressed, it beat all my other book orders!

Im a Computer Sceince student. Recently, I took an economics cource titeld "International Trade". This book is the text book for our class. I found it very easy and clear to understand ( there is no doubt that you really need to have a very solid Idea about macro and micro economics befor reading this kind of a book). The book is deep enought to servee as an educational media, it is no to little and not too much. I recommend this book

it is a book in a very good condition and i received it right on time

This seller never sent the book. He/she did not respond to emails at all, and it resulted in a terrible transaction.
