Microeconomics. 4th Edition International Student Version
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, January 2011, Pages: 824
As a study guide, this handbook really stands out. It explains the principles very clearly in a logical order and it uses a lot of examples and cases for students to practise the new techniques. The chapters start with a story to show the reallife relevance of the concepts, which is clearly appreciated by the students. Highly recommended for teaching first–year students!
