PRINCIPLES OF MICROECONOMICS, 6e, International Edition became a best seller after its introduction and continues to be the most popular and widely used text in the economics classroom. Instructors found it the perfect complement to their teaching. A text by a superb writer and economist that stressed the mostimportant concepts without overwhelming students with an excess of detail wasa formula that was quickly imitated, but has yet to be matched. The sixth edition features a strong revision of content in all twenty-two chapters. Dozens of new applications emphasize the real-world relevance of economics for today's students through interesting news articles, realistic case studies, and engaging problems. The premier ancillary package is the most extensive in the industry, using a team of instructors/preparers that have been with the project since the first edition. The text material is again fully integrated into Aplia,the best-selling online homework solution. "I have tried to put myself in theposition of someone seeing economics for the first time.
