Among the most popular and successful texts available to economics students, Edwin Mansfield's books have been adopted at over 1,000 colleges and universities around the world. The hallmark qualities of Professor Mansfield's books are a careful integration of theory and example, meticulously clear writing style, and a step-by-step pedagogy.
Our oldest just started college this fall (2009), and her Econ Prof. was so adamant about having this Econ text, he had the kids send back a perfectly good Econ text for this one, so he was quite sure this is what was needed. There is also an inexpensive study guide with which it goes. (When I said the texts they sent back were "perfectly good", I meant I'd read through the text and study guide, I found them to be sound, as well as a good teaching tool.) These are the two our daughter's Prof insists upon. His insistance, combined with my own review, as well as our daughters', is what I base my rating upon. I'm sure you'd like more info, and I'm sorry not to be able to provide it, but I was unable to have the text long enough to give a really good going over. Also, an aside.. I believe one of the previous reviewers was inadvertently reviewing the study guide, and not this book, which is the textbook.) Thanks for your time!
