About the Book

If your course begins before 8/1/06, click here. Starting in August 2006, this text will come packaged with an access kit for the new easy-to-use format of MyEconLab, which requires no set-up by the professor and offers students book-specific practice, online homework, access to the eBook, and learning resources. (For that ISBN, click here.) Professors who wish to use advanced course management should order the ISBN above to receive the book packaged with MyEconLab in CourseCompass. Research shows the best way to learn is to put concepts to work with repeated practice. For this reason, frequent, quality practice is the cornerstone of the tightly-knit Foundations of Economics learning system, building student success in economics by doing economics. First, student attention is focused on what to study through a Checklist of clearly defined core concepts in each chapter. Section by section, Checkpoints demonstrate how to study by stepping through a Practice Problem and then engaging students with a parallel Exercise. In addition, the Third Edition addresses why we study economics through a new feature, Reality Check. With Foundations of Economics, students are taught to view economics as a skill to be honed rather than a collection of topics to be memorized.
