One of the best introductions to the concepts and principles of economics available. Authors take special care in relating the graphs and abstract ideas into real world situations. Sections are devoted to explaining a principle and then explaining how that principle can be seen/implemented in an actual society. Special care is taken in explaining resource and capital efficiency. I read it to learn Microeconomics before I took Energy and Environmental Economics next semester (without the required prerequisite of Microecon... the professor recommended that I read this book to catch up)

Light on mathematics, and with a more than subtle leftist bias. Good lay exposition if you haven't read any economics texts at the graduate and researcher level.

Intro to microeconomics course. Some of the stuff I could understand, the majority of it went right over my head. Their explanation on formulas used by economists could have been better.
