Economics
Fourth Edition
Sloman's Economics has understandably become the most successful European-originated introduction to economics. The text has been carefully developed over four editions with one overriding aim- to make the subject of economics exciting, relevant and as clear to understand as possible. John Sloman combines a direct and straightforward writing style with a wealth of contemporary examples, which illustrate theory and practice and bring the subject alive for students. This combination provides students with an unrivalled learning tool for their first course in economics.
The fourth edition retains many of the popular features of the previous edition, but has been extensively revised and updated to reflect changes and address new and contemporary issues. The four-colour design has been further improved and several new features added to make the book even more attractive to use.
Key Features
· Each chapter now begins with a full-page introduction and 'chapter map'. This sets the scene for the chapter, helps students to see how it is structured and how the various topics relate to each other. NEW!
· Many boxes, spread throughout the text. These provide case studies, person profiles, institutional material, news items, contemporary and historical debates and issues, anecdotes and advanced topics.
· All key terms are highlighted in the text where they first appear and defined at the foot of that page. New for this edition, each term is also included in a glossary at the end of the text and highlighted in the index for quick reference. NEW!
· Web references, integrated throughout the text and highlighted by an icon. The student is referred to a comprehensive list of sites, compiled into an appendix at the back of the book. NEW!
· An increased use of examples drawn from around the world. NEW!
· Self-assessment questions are embedded in the text and further questions are given at the end of each chapter.
The text is accompanied by an excellent range of extra learning and teaching materials; these enable students and tutors to maximise their use of the book.
