4 out of 5 stars UNO student .......2005-05-18

This book is pretty easy to follow, if you can follow simple algebraic graphs and logic (emphasize logic). I thought at first that maybe this book may have been easy, so I looked around on amazon and inferrred from what I read that all the micro books that are making big sales to universities are the same. By that I mean not to math intensive, just schedules, graphs, and definitions. I got an A in the class and feel like I definitely learned something. I recommend this book for those who want to learn on own also.

4 out of 5 stars A good survey.......2003-10-26

'Foundations of Microeconomics' by Robin Bade and Michael Parkin is an interesting text for an introductory course in Microeconomics. The primary academic division at the beginning level of economics is the Micro/Macro-economic divide; often it is taught as a two-semester sequence for students going into economics, political science, history, business or any other such discipline that requires a thorough grounding in economic theory and principles.

Bade and Parkin are aware from decades of teaching experience that students often get lost in a sea of detail, and that many introductory economics texts (as do the introductory texts of many fields) attempt to do too much too quickly in introducing their subjects. Bade and Parkin organise each chapter, therefore, around only a few core principles - three or four at most. They have also built into this text a very extensive set of charts and diagrams to demonstrate the points that are being explained in the text.

Each chapter begins with a checklist, and ends with checkpoints (which follow on from section checkpoints along the way). Included in this is a featured called the 'Eye on...' feature - these are small articles that highlight practical, real life situations in which the principles under discussion apply. They may be domestic or international in scope, and may be current or significant in history.

The book is adaptable to many different uses - the introductory pages highlight four alternative means of focus that the book can take: a traditional micro-economics course approach; a public policy emphasis; a business emphasis; or a shorter policy emphasis. Each of these build on core principles in the early chapters, and then expand from there depending upon the primary interests of the class or reader.

The layout of the book is visually interesting and lively. The use of colour, photographs, and charts and graphs adds tremendously to the feel of the text. The text is sharp and concise, without sacrificing clarity or content.

One very important section that I wish would have more detail and emphasis is the appendix to chapter 1 - Making and Using Graphs. Interpreting and drawing graphs seems to be the single largest problem area for students I tutor in microeconomics, so more emphasis on this part would be appreciated, particularly as the skills given in this section carry throughout the entire book. As a primary tool, the relegation of this to an appendix sends somewhat of a mixed message of the importance of graphs. Perhaps renaming this as a chapter in its own right would help somewhat, with more detail and examples (much like in mathematics, it is in the repetition of the exercises that the students gain mastery of the concepts). Students are indeed called upon to do many exercises during the course of this text (learning by doing, rather than just through reading), but the early grounding in graphical representation is critical.

5 out of 5 stars Witty!.......2006-02-27

This book is hilarious at times, I mean, it teaches economics well also. But the best part is the dry, witty humor characteristic of Perloff himself...took a seminar with the guy, he ruleeeez, with a "z."

4 out of 5 stars easy to understand and entertaining to read too........2005-06-06

the author explains the graphs quite well in his textbook. all the examples are interesting and relate to real life. i've had the honor of having the author as a sub for our regular lecturer for a week at UC Berkeley. his book's just like his lectures, very entertaning and does not bore me to sleep.
but the book does not help with the difficult tests given since it only covers the basics, one needs to do the problems in the study guide in order to really apply the concepts.

5 out of 5 stars Great for Intermediate Econ.......2005-03-11

Had this for my second micro course. Yes, it is light on the math, but the material is there and for someone that isn't majoring in economics, it is a good buy. The reading is very easy and the examples/applications that are in the book are very good and interesting.

1 out of 5 stars The Worst Undergraduate Text in Microeconomics.......2005-02-27

I am rating this book 1 star because I don't have the option of rating it a 0. 0 is what it actually deserves. I was required to buy this book when I took a course taught by the author, Jeff Perloff, at UC Berkeley. This book is the absolute worst micro text I've ever come across. It's confusing and unorganized much like the author himself. If you're looking for a good intro micro text, I suggest you look elsewhere. I highly recommend Walter Nicholson's Microeconomic Theory.

1 out of 5 stars Not Readable.......2004-11-02

Virtually everywhere in this book, the author brags about how readable the book is. For one thing, after half a semester of ECON 211 Principles of Microeconomics, this book has not been helpful at all.

Graphs are placed on a page and the author spends two pages explaining the graph. The theory behind all of the paragraphs was designed to baffle instead of to enlighten. While some real-life case studies (Dell's organizational methods) are interesting reads, what the book needs to do more is to talk about applying theories to strategies in real life.

It may be true that I am taking a Principles of Microeconomics course, but in a course where I am expected to understand how to apply theories to problems in the real-world, this book is a long way from being readable or being helpful in a course in micro.

    Microeconomics: Private Markets and Public Choice emphasizes that economics is, at its base, about our society's well-being and our individual happiness in all forms, not just profit. The authors teach students to apply economic concepts not only to key policy decisions like taxes, inflation, and free trade, but also to personal decisions such as household finance, marriage, and career choices.

    The Seventh Edition is enhanced by MyEconLab, the online homework system featuring automatically graded graphing problems and proven tutorial tools. Access to MyEconLab comes with every new textbook at no additional cost to the student.

            Book Description

            Microeconomics offers a novel approach to the principles of economics course based on three pedagogical principles:

            · Ongoing assessment is an essential component of the learning process;

            · Students/Readers understand concepts better when they are presented in the context of engaging stories;

            · Students/Readers remember more when they connect concepts to what they see or read in the news and what they experience in their every day life.

            Quality assessment permeates every component of Microeconomics, the first textbook to offer a class-tested test bank. MyEconLab’s innovative online homework and tutorial system, with its innovative computer-grade graphing exercises, is tightly linked to the text.

              Book Description

              Foundations of Microeconomics was developed on the premise that economics is a core competency for the responsible citizen and a foundation tool for every type of career.

              The Bade/Parkin package is designed to encourage learning by doing. Each chapter concentrates on a manageable number of core concepts that are called out in the beginning-of-chapter Checklist. Students know what they're expected to learn and are given the chance to apply those lessons to real-world problems.

              Practice is the cornerstone of the innovative Bade/Parkin approach. A full page Checkpoint—containing a Practice Problem with solution and a parallel Exercise—immediately follows each main idea. Checkpoints serve as stopping points and encourage students to practice using a concept before moving on.

              Different learning styles need different learning tools, and Bade/Parkin's extensive and tightly integrated web environment puts students in the driver's seat and allows them to use technology in the way that suits them best.

              Book Description

              Identity-based approaches to understanding thoughts, feelings, and actions in organizations have produced, particularly in recent years, an array of rich insights that have broadened the domain of organizational behavior. This book brings these insights together in one complete source and uses them collectively to stretch further the boundaries of the discipline. Blake Ashforth accomplishes this goal by creating new ways of viewing the many forms of role transitions evident in organizational life. He looks at role transitions people make during the workday (i.e., from spouse/parent to employee) and studies the identity and status issues faced.

              This unique authored book also creatively accomplishes two scholarly objectives. First, it provides a needed review, critique, and integration of what is known about being socially defined in an organizational context; and second, it provides fresh and intriguing perspectives on the dynamics of role engagement and disengagement both within and between organizations.

              This book will appeal to psychologists, managers, and lifespan development researchers interested in the transitions people make as they go through life.

              This brilliant book was written with scholars and practitioners in mind. It provides much insight on the elusive topics of role transitions and identity within organizational settings.

              Moreover, the book answers many conceptual and theoretical questions of import while providing much insight as to how all this may serve to ameliorate organizational performance and employee well-being. Finally, the book is superbly put together and extremely well written! It's well worth a read by any manager or employee!

              Now about the author: Few scholars in the area of management have proven themselves to be as creative, insightful, and prolific as Professor Ashforth. His brilliant career has led to numerous publications in a variety of highly prestigious journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly, the Journal of Applied Psychology, and the Journal of the Academy of Management.

              Ashforth is commonly referred to as "an exception in the area" and the "Da Vinci of Management".
