Product Description
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 applied material, both to illustrate theory and policy and to bring the subject alive for students by relating it to contemporary issues. This combination provides students with an unrivalled learning tool for their first course in 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.
FOR STUDENTS

Format:Paperback
Sloman has excelled himself by producing a book on economics that is bright, colourful, well layed out and interesting to read.
I viewed economics as a boring subject until i picked up and read sloman. The great thing about this book is that you can just pick it up and read. It is well written in a concise and informative way that is not to technical yet contains all the information. This is backed up at the end of every section by a bullet point summary that covers the entire section.
If that is not enough the book is littered with case samples and explanations of terms, all importantly this book is utilising online accompanyment to the best of its ability. A website that has answers to questions in the book and the possiblity for a lecturer or teacher to set up and online course guide for their school or university.
This book is a must for anybody who wants to learn economics from scratch ot to build on their economics knowledde whether for school/university or for personal use.

i bought this code as part of my university course. the book is very good, and up-to-date including the financial crisis of 2008 but a word of warning if you are going to buy a used copy like myself, check if the access code for the online resources that are recommended is included with the book otherwise you will end up paying more than you think or want given the fact that these book are £40 each.

Economics with MyEconLab
Purchased for Economics Student!
Required reading material for the course but from what I gather it is not a bad read and has some useful stuff in it.
