Too Theoretical and Useless!
This book is very difficult to read as far as the main text is concerned.The graphs do help students understand the concepts but the organization is poor.After reading a chapter, I still do not get the "bigpicture".The authors do not attempt to provide any type of guide orroadmap for us to follow.You cannot learn anything from this book unlessyou are going to your prof's lectures.

Very good learning medume with a suffecient in-depth covearg
Im a Computer Sceince student. Recently, I took an economics cource titeld "International Trade". This book is the text book for our class. I found it very easy and clear to understand ( there is no doubt that youreally need to have a very solid Idea about macro and micro economics beforreading this kind of a book). The book is deep enought to servee as aneducational media, it is no to little and not too much. I recommend thisbook

I do not feel this book is a good educational tool
I have recently taken Macroeconomics and Microeconomics.The subject wasdifficult, but able to be grasped with some study. (I am an adultstudent)As for the "International Economics" textbook, I feel itis very poor as an educational medium.If you ever really sit and attemptto read this thing, all you are reading are a bunch of letters.There isno sense to the material and very little attempt to clarify anything.Itis confusing enough to learn a difficult subject without having to decipherevery letter of the alphabet into a different word or variable.Iunderstand brevity is necessary to avoid repetition, but please! This is tobe a learning tool.There should at least be some attempt to 'spell out'the information once.I feel this book was a very bad investment on mypart, and would never have been my chosen text for this topic. I wouldn'teven give it one star, but that was as low as I was able to select. ... Read more
