Very useful for my university course! I really enjoyed the book and the all the equations were very well explained. Also the examples and different headlines were a useful bond to reality.

Provided a lot of useful information, but awfully boring. Could cut out a lot of the extra filler, half the size of the book, and it would be excellent.

Incredibly boring... They say that writers in the US get paid in proportions to the amount of words they produce. Lets just confirm this in the case of Feenstra...
