title: Economics: A Contemporary Introduction Wall Street Journal Edition with Xtra! CD-ROM and InfoTrac College Edition
author:  William A. McEachern 
description: My appreciation of his book is considerable. The quality of the writing is generally superb, and the balance with which the author presents controversial material is admirable.<br /><br />I like the level and the way in which all the material is presented. The graphs are very clear and the supporting data is displayed in a very readable style. Overall-a great text.<br /><br />I found the author's writing style engaging and comfortable. I think the examples used will connect with principles students. The case studies in each chapter I read were interesting, enlightening, and concise.
