0070880506 / Softcover / 512 pages / Copyright © 2002 In revising this best seller, we have focused on our users' needs. Not surprisingly, we found that the book was badly in need of a major update in terms of information and data. We also found that instructors wanted more applied issues or mini-cases on appropriate environmental issues. These provide real world examples that clarify the theory and require students to think critically. Instructors also wanted more technical examples and more mathematical modeling, with appropriate graphics. In order to develop students’ problem solving skills, instructors also requested more practical problems in the end-of-chapter material to augment the existing discussion questions. This revised edition provides all of the above in an accessible format that is based on the Supply and Demand model. The book’s level of complexity builds on this simple model and allows students in courses at all levels of difficulty to use it. |
