Feature Summary
Economic background provided: Provides enough economics background so that a student need not have had principles of economics to understand the material.
Illustrative and enriching pedagogy: Many exhibits (boxed inserts) and tables illustrate and enhance the text discussion. E.g. An example on "The Marginal Costs of a Firm Producing Organic Apples" uses an apple orchard in order to elucidate the concepts of short-run and long-run production inputs and marginal costs. In Chapter 13, an exhibit "Fight Global Warming at BuyCarbon.org" shows how groups are using the Internet to help every person contribute to the efforts to reduce global warming.
Guide to useful websites and selected readings: Extends students' education to the web for further information on topics covered in the text. This resource can now be found on the book's website.
