Book Description
This innovative volume explores the idea that while photographs are images, they are also objects, and this materiality is integral to their meaning and use. The case studies presented focus on photographs active in different institutional, political, religious, and domestic spheres, where physical properties, the nature of their use, and the cultural formations in which they function make their "objectness" central to how we should understand them.

Depth of Focus.......2007-02-26
I encountered this book while I was conducting research on the social exchange of photographs. Richard Chalfen one of the authors of the book suggested this gem to me. Overall, this volume and its authors collectively offer a deeper understanding of how people use photography in daily life. Contrary to most books on photography, this volume illuminates the ways photographs are cultural objects that have a social life. They are formed/created and they are used, not just for the imagery, but to cement social relations between people. Unlike other books that strictly treat photographs in an aesthetic/art paradigm, this volume considers the vernacular life of photographs. As some of the chapters illustrate, photographs aren't only about the visual, but they serve as conduits and allow interaction outside of simply looking at an image as an observer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in alternative explanations and observations about visual cultural practices.

Book Description
Brad Schiller's text, The Microeconomy Today, 10/e, is noted for three great strengths: readability, policy orientation, and pedagogy. His accessible writing style engages students and brings some of the excitement of domestic and global economic news into the classroom. Schiller emphasizes how policymakers must choose between government intervention and market reliance to resolve the core issues of what, how, and for whom to produce. This strategic choice is highlighted throughout the full range of micro, macro, and international issues. Every chapter ends with a policy issue that emphasizes the markets vs. government dilemma. And Schiller packs his chapters with the facts of economic life—real stories and applications, not fables. This is a book that teaches economics in a relevant context with careful pedagogy. Schiller 10e is for students motivated by real-world policy issues who want to become economically literate. This is a book students actually READ. Schiller is also known for its cutting-edge and current coverage of today’s issues.

This Book is Awful!.......2006-09-20
I agree with darkeyes, this book is terrible!
The author does assume that we will understand and have prior knowledge of formulas that aren't even listed in the book!
You know what? I am a 24 year old college student. I haven't had Algebra in 4 years! And even if I had taken it last semester, it is unfair to assume that students will recall which formulas go with each problem. Not only does the book not provide them, but the teacher's manual doesnt even proovide them, and I know because I have seen his book. Second, the problem sets in the back of the book are not EXPLAINED anywhere! THIS TEXT IS HONESTLY AWFUL!
Totally updated and relevent........2006-08-28
This book was a great addition to my on-line microeconomics course. They use really current business information and real-life examples to make is easier to understand. The problems are challenging. You should have a basic understanding of charts and graphs before economics though.
Not the best book for at home reader.. .......2006-07-15
This was a required book for my Microeconomics class. Unfortunately it's an online class. Therefore, I had to read the book at home. The economics graphs and equations weren't explained well on this book. The author expected us to know how stuff works before reading his graphs (and there isn't much explanation on the book about it). My instructor gives us exams based on the equations and graphs which made it even harder. I wouldn't recommend this book for at home reader or online students.

Microeconomy for undergraduate.......2001-01-26
Excellent feature of this book is the aplication part that shows real impacts or examples of theory in reality. I have bought this book to accompany my Economics by Collander and it was good choice. If you want to test your knowledge - buy yet Economic Concepts (ISBN 0070455910). You will do the best for your understanding.
Book Description
Roger Miller believes that students learn best when they are motivated, and that motivation comes when they connect an idea to their day-to-day lives. That is why every chapter of Economics Today is packed with thought-provoking applications that give immediate, common-sense reinforcement to economic concepts. From international to local, corporate to consumer, policy to personal, these examples spark lively discussion both in and out of the classroom. The result is that students gain a natural understanding of economic theory and analysis, and they learn to use economic reasoning in their everyday decisions.
