Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A text aimed at non-specialist students to provide them with the motivation to understand the subject. Starting with real-world applications such as traffic congestion or European airline pricing, the contents are then expanded to show the economic theory which underpins them, with key concepts being reinforced at the end of each chapter. Theory is presented in the order most commonly found in introductory economics courses, and also has a balanced coverage of macroeconomic and microeconomic topics. The text is written from a European perspective although global examples are referred to.
