Krugman's Macroeconomics for AP (repost)

Advantages of This Book
This book has all of the advantages found in the parent book as well as many new advantages unique to the AP adaptation:
➤ Created by a Team with Insight. The team of authors for this project has a wealth of experience with AP eco-nomics. This book is the result of extensive collabora-tion within the team as well as incredible support from highly qualified AP content reviewers and accuracy checkers at all points along the way.

➤ Created Specifically to Meet the Needs of AP Economics Teachers and Students. From the Table of Contents through the supplements, this project is specifically designed to meet the needs of AP teachers and students. The outline of the book follows the AP topic outline, the terminology in the book conforms to accepted terminology used in AP materials and on the AP exam, and supplements provide everything new or experienced teachers and students need to be successful in an AP economics course.
➤ Chapters build intuition through realistic examples. In every chapter, real-world examples, stories, applica-tions, and case studies teach the core concepts and moti-vate student learning. The best way to introduce concepts and reinforce them is through real-world examples; students simply relate more easily to them.
➤ Pedagogical features reinforce learning. The book includes a genuinely helpful set of features that are illus-trated and described later in the Preface. ➤ Modules are accessible and entertaining. A fluid and
friendly writing style makes concepts accessible. Whenever possible, the book uses examples that are
familiar to students: choosing which college to attend, paying a high price for a cup of coffee, or deciding where to eat at the food court at the local shopping mall.
➤ Although easy to understand, the book also prepares students for the AP exam and further coursework. Too often, instructors find that selecting a textbook means choosing between two unappealing alternatives: a textbook that is “easy to teach” but leaves major gaps in students’ understanding, or a textbook that is “hard to teach” but adequately prepares students for the AP exam and future coursework. This is an easy-to-understand textbook that offers the best of both worlds.
