A history of excellence in economic content and application
· New and Revised – Chapters have been reworked for better flow and improved readability. More thorough discussion of and focus on important topics and issues have been added to the 13th Edition.
· Expanded – A 3-tiered explanation of key concepts (using intuitive stories, followed by a table or graph, and in some cases, an equation that presents the concept with a mathematical formula) helps instructors effectively cover a large amount of material, and helps students to understand it.
· Graphs, Figures, and Animations help students learn the concepts in the book.
· Concept Checks act as “speed bumps” that encourage students to stop and check their understanding of fundamental terms and concepts before moving on to the next section.
· New and Updated – End-of-Chapter Critical-Thinking Questions and Problem Sets reinforce economic principles and give students the opportunity to practice what they’ve just learned.
