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.

Customer Reviews:
Clear and Easy to follow.......2007-01-20
This book helped me to get an A in Microeconomics since my professor didn't have a formal textbook just a Power Point presentation that I couldn't refer to when I needed it. The book is not only great but they have a website to take quizzes or review the material. I recommend it!
Great Book.......2006-04-25
This book is the standard for Microeconomics. Simple, good graphs and charts. I've seen other books and they just don't compare.
Easy to understand and hugely enlightening.......2005-10-05
The author makes concepts that have historically been over mystified highly accessable to the reader. The use of current economic scenarios helps cement concepts and brings life to essential economic theories.
Pretty good, but fairly simplistic.......2002-02-07
This book is a pretty good, straightforward, intro to microeconomics. It is sort of simplistic, yet the main points are crystal clear, and chapters are easy to read.

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
Freedman focuses on investigation of employees by their companies and organizations, delineating the rights and obligations of the employer and the rights and privileges of the employee in the employment relationship. Internal company investigations have in recent years become widespread as companies and corporations seek to ferret out internal problems. Officers and directors as well as employees have been subjected to the internal investigative process. But the content of these internal investigations and the precise procedures utilized by the company or corporation are simply unknown for the obvious reason that no company or corporation wants to publicize the fact of investigation, or wash its dirty linens in public! Unless such "inside secrets" are disclosed in the course of litigation, the author of any text on internal investigations cannot detail the pragmatic substance of the internal investigation. The point is simply that the internal investigation process generally remains confidential until disclosed by the participants. There are, however, guidelines to the internal investigation that are available, and the author has utilized every known facet of the investigative process to spotlight what the internal investigation is all about. Factors such as the right to privacy; "whistleblowing"; discrimination based on age, sex, race, national origin, religion, etc.; drug-testing and alcohol-testing; as well as prime causes of discharge or termination of employment are all relevant, and are delineated hereinafter. In most instances, these factors are evidenced by decided cases, thereby establishing precedents and background for the author's conclusions. In view of the increasing amount of litigation in this field, Freedman's treatise will be valuable to bench and bar, and as a guide will be useful to executives in corporations and organizations throughout the private and public sectors.

A leader in the field.......2001-02-28
This book is viewed in my country as one of the leaders in the field of agricultural produce marketing. It is a very popular book that is very well written. The authors explain everything with great detail and make it clear with good illustrations, where possible. The purpose of this book is to integrate aspects of food product marketing with traditional agricultural marketing. This novel approach fills a gap in the current literature and reflects a growing trend to teach these subjects in an integrated way.

From the supplier: The public USDA land grant system plays an important role in promoting improved performance of the country's agri-food marketing institutions. This role is further enhanced by public research and extension activities organized within the framework of the Research and Marketing Act of 1946. However, changes in the agro-food systems and budgetary constraints in land grant universities have made it more difficult to facilitate public marketing research and activities. Thus, there is a continuing need to support and fund research initiatives on the agro-food marketing system.

Book Description
The development of the space industry in the Asian and Pacific Rim region provides the context for this book. The two major countries hoping for leadership in the area (apart from China) are Japan and India, both of whom have significant launcher capabilities.
There is a general introductory chapter which places the space programmes of the region in the comparative context of the other space-faring nations of the world. The author reviews the main space programmes of Japan and India in turn, concentrating on their origins, the development of launcher and space facilities, scientific and engineering programmes, and future prospects.
The book concludes with a chapter comparing how similarly/differently Japan and India are developing their space programmes, how they are likely to proceed in the future, and what impact the programmes have had in their own region and what they have contributed so far to global space research.
Customer Reviews:
Insightful.......2003-08-07
This was an interesting read. I liked it because it changed what I thought about India's and Japan's space programs, and because it was quick to read through. The inclusion of payload masses and engine specifications was useful to me.
It also appears to be thoroughly comprehensive in its cataloging of orbital launches (successes and failures) through 1999 (minus perhaps one from Japan). It also mentions sounding rockets developed and used.
One curious omission is any discussion of India's military or defense goals with its space program. Perhaps there really are none, but the book describes tensions between the US and India over KVD-1 engine sales from Russia, suggesting to me that there is more of a story here than is told.
The limited budget information provided is insightful.
Certain sections are redundant and perhaps poorly written, but other than that, it wasn't bad.
