NEW! Foundations of Economics
5th Edition AP* Edition ©2011
Bade, Parkin
Core Concepts Approach
- Modern micro and macro topics are presented at an accessible level that feature contemporary examples to tie theory into the real world.
- Chapters are organized around a few key concepts.
- Each chapter uses a Checklist to preview and focus students' attention on the key concepts.
- A discrete section introduces each of the core concepts and is immediately followed by a full-page Checkpoint that offers a practice problem with a guided solution and a parallel exercise.
- Chapter Checkpoints conclude each chapter and include a summary of key points and terms, problems and exercises, news analysis questions, critical-thinking questions, and Web exercises.
AP* Test Prep Workbook, created specifically for Foundations of Economics, AP* Edition, is a comprehensive guide linked directly to the textbook to help students reinforce important connections between what they learn in class and the AP* Exam. (Coming Winter 2011)
Coverage of AP* Curriculum Topics—A correlation guide at the front of the book links textbook pages to the topics outlined in the College Board course descriptions for AP* Macroeconomics and AP* Microeconomics.
