Most Recommended!.......2003-03-27
Ron Klinger has written a very thorough, easy-to-understand, yet concise book that teaches declarer play and defense very well. And the quizzes at the end of the chapter serve to clarify the concepts. I cannot recommend this enough. This was selected as the Book of the Year by the ABTA in the year it was published.
Book Description
Guide to Better Acol Bridge is addressed to the majority of players who are ready and keen to rise above the basics. While it emphasises better bidding, each chapter also contains examples of play. These incorporate the bidding principles of the chapter and highlight many areas of winning declarer technique and defence. Each chapter contains plentiful exercises and partnership bidding practice and at the end of each section, a revision test enables the reader to measure the rate of progress. The book can be used by teachers conducting intermediate courses or as a self-teacher.

Hidden Gem.......2004-05-31
British and U. S. bidding methods have cross fertilized one another for decades. Reading this effort by Klinger and Kambites offers an opportunity to join the party. The presentation often suffers from a tedious dryness only a bidding theorist could love. Yet, that dryness buys a concise description of a large, natural bidding system. As the authors present a wealth of information along with exercises, one may verify one's own learning experience.
Hidden gem: Chapter 23 lays out the Modern Losing Trick Count hand evaluation methods clearly and concisely. Better, the presentation reaches sufficient depth so that one may add the technique to one's arsenal without further ado. Especially, for readers curious about methods across the pond, this volume deserves serious consideration.
Book Description
In the world of tournament bridge, styles change, new ideas come forward, and more effective methods are developed. This new edition contains the standard strategies and conventions that have proven successful in the past, as well as recent developments, how they work, when they apply, and why you can get better scores by adopting them.
Customer Reviews:
Decent coverage of duplicate strategies.......2003-01-15
The book has decent coverage of duplicate strategies and conventions like weak twos, but nothing earth-shattering. There are two different editions - ACOL and Standard American, so make sure you get the right one.
For a better coverage of duplicate techniques, see "50 Winning Duplicate Tips", also by Klinger. That is an outstanding book!

Better Electric Lamps of the 20's and 30's.......2001-11-29
Sorry, this book is very deceiving in what it is about. I do not consider a loose piece of paper, inside the cover of this book, with 1997 prices on it,to be called part of this book. The printed prices in the book are in deed from the 20's and 30's. Maybe I read more into the cover of this book then I should have. And why does L-W Book Sales stamp their hard cover books with the price in big bold numbers on the back of there books? I sell music books, and the price is on the books discreetly. If a person was sitting 20 feet from a person looking at this book, they would know how much I paid for it, in which case, this book, I would be embarrassed to let anyone know what I paid for it.
Book Description
The book provides a clear, concise, and accessible presentation of key points.
Its hallmark feature includes a focus on the 5 Key Principles of Economics–1) Opportunity Cost, 2) The Marginal Principle (comparing marginal benefits and marginal costs), 3) Diminishing Returns, 4) The Spillover Principle (for externalities in production and consumption), 5) The Reality Principle (distinguishing real from nominal magnitudes).
For financial professionals and analysts.
Book Description
Policy and real applications are very important to the Principles of Microeconomics course and knowing this, Hall and Lieberman have made their comprehensive, cutting edge text as current as today's headlines. MICROECONOMICS: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS, 3e, 2006 Update gives students a real-world, up-to-the-minute overview that presents economics as a unified discipline. Taking a no-nonsense approach to economic theory and application, the Update is very accessible, equipping readers with a solid foundation in economics that they can build upon wherever their career paths may lead. The authors' modern approach to theory is captivating and appeals to a broad range of teaching styles and philosophies. This proven author team focuses on core theoretical ideas and presents a systematic application of theoretical tools to real-world domestic and global issues, teaching students how to use analytical processes to develop and sharpen their own economic analysis skills. In addition, the book's innovative Aplia homework management solution provides the most integrated text and homework management system available.
Book Description
Offering the most cutting-edge coverage available, the 10th edition of the market-leading MICROECONOMIC THEORY: BASIC PRINCIPLES AND EXTENSIONS delivers a text that is rigorous yet accessible, accurate in theory yet practical in application, thorough yet concise. Now at a more succinct 19 chapters, this tried-and-true, widely popular text is known as the "bible of microeconomics," offering the most clear and accurate presentation of advanced microeconomic concepts. For the new edition, proven author and economic authority Walter Nicholson is joined by new co-author Chris Snyder, a professor of economics at Dartmouth College. These highly respected economists draw from their wealth of experience in the classroom and the marketplace, giving the book a practical, real-world perspective. Taking a calculus-based approach, MICROECONOMIC THEORY provides an ideal level of mathematical rigor for upper level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. Extremely reader-friendly, the book is designed to help students truly understand and apply economic models as it enables them to work directly with theoretical tools, real-world applications, and the latest developments in the study of microeconomics. Insightful graphic presentations help visual learners see the connections between the calculus and the algebra/geometry of the same material. In addition, end-of-chapter problems are now presented in two tiers: Simple numerical/mathematical exercises, which build student intuition, are followed by more analytical, theoretical, and complex problems. Unlike other, more theoretical texts, MICROECONOMIC THEORY presents theory in an accessible way as well as illustrates how it applies in the real world.
Customer Reviews:
Good intermediate micro.......2007-04-24
This book is very well structured and makes your troubled economist life easier. You definitely need math knowledge but Nicholson explains difficult concepts in a masterful and understandable manner, so the ideas are easier to understand. I would say it is between Varian and Mas Colell. The first part is abundant in relevant examples (it somehow dwindles after) and the questions at the end of the chapters are quite useful.
Very good intermediate book.......2006-12-21
It is very good textbook to learn microeconomics with intuitions and methodology. But, some people are comparing this book with Mas Colell. Nonsense! Mas Colell is a PhD level, pretty technical, "heavy duty" book. This book is an intermediate level book for senior undergrads or master students. On the other hand, Binger&Hofmann's Microeconomics with Calculus book is better then this, in my opinion. It has less story more information. This book spends lots of lines to explain some small points which is boring for someone who should know these stories before starting graduate studies. But it is more comprehensive than baby Varian. Some departments are using Pyndick's book, but I didn't use it. I believe that Binger&Hofmann is the best in this category if you wanna learn Microeconomics using mathematical tools.
Pretty good book........2006-11-10
the shipping was alright.. the book is new and pretty good. happy with it overall..=)
Very Good Overview of Micro Theory.......2006-11-10
After using this book for a math-intensive micro theory course, I would heartily recommend Nicholson's text, which is written clearly with relevant examples and straightforward, useful problems at the end of each chapter. The book is very math-intense and requires a good knowlege of multivariable calculus, but since the reader is probably buying this book for a class, he or she most likely already has the mathematics background necessary. Thumbs up.
Not such an easy read.......2006-10-18
Okay book, not the best read, but better than the Mas-Collel green books. This book gives a lot of info on theory but I thought it lacked wrt practical (applied examples). Used for a graduate level course in Micro Econ. My particular course is very hard (this class serves both graduate and PhD Finance students) so needless to say, I am ordering the workbook to help me survive!
Book Description
This is a no-nonsense principles book that emphasizes economic theory and applications. The book is a study tool for students and the pedagogical approach and in-text features were chosen to reinforce that theme. It provides students with a picture of economics as a unified discipline, a set of interrelated tools and ideas that can be used to look at the world in a different way, and the less-is-more approach has been carefully crafted in both content and supporting pedagogy to keep students focused on learning and applying the central ideas used in economic analysis. It teaches students how to use analytical processes in developing their own economic analysis skills. Hall/Lieberman's careful focus on core theoretical ideas, as well as their systematic application of theoretical tools to timely real-world questions, conveys the message that economics is an integrated, powerful body of knowledge that can be used to address domestic and global issues.

A very didactic (undergraduate) introduction to microeconomics.......2005-09-24
I have the first edition (2001).
Despite the fact that I think some "axioms" of economics are based on muddy, suspect foundations, I gave 5 stars to this book because it is a FUNNY and very didactic introduction to microeconomics. So that, if you want to grasp the main principles of this area I think you will have an excelent "companion" in your hands. Most examples are very practical and cool.
Their macroeconomics book is also very didactic. I think it is a characteristic of the authors.
excellent for review.......2000-04-01
In this study guide, Hall and Lieberman provide an excellent accompaniment to their brilliant text. All the exercises are very clear, as is the answer key, which gives one the opportunity to see where one went wrong in a particular concept. The scope of the study guide is exactly the same as that of the book. Basically, if you can do everything in the guide, you have mastered their concepts.
Book Description
Each chapter includes "Speaking Economics" vocabulary sections, Chapter Highlights, Important Concepts, "Skills and Tools" exercises involving quantitative problems, and Practice Tests.

Book Description
Human induced biodiversity loss is greater now than at any time in human history, with extinctions occurring at rates hundreds of times higher than background extinction levels. The field of biodiversity economics analyses the socio-economic causes of and solutions to biodiversity loss by combining the disciplines of economics, ecology and biology. This field has shown a remarkable degree of transformation over the past four decades and now incorporates the analysis of the entire diversity of biological resources within the living world. Biodiversity Economics presents a series of papers that show how bio-economic analysis can be applied to the examination and evaluation of the problem of various forms of biodiversity loss. Containing state-of-the-art bio-economic research by some of the leading practitioners in the field, this volume will be an essential research tool to those working on biodiversity issues in the academic, policy and private sectors.
